Tumors of the meninges in infancy and childhood are unusual; childhood meningiomatosis is thought to be more common in neurocutaneous diseases. The case presented here is one of multiple recurrent and de novo benign meningeal tumors in a child who has no other signs or symptoms of a neurocutaneous syndrome.
