Abstract

We report a case of 54 years old male with malignant meningioma originating in the posterior fossa with multiple recurrences, intracranial and extracranial metastases. In spite of gross total removal of tumor and conventional external radiation therapy(CERT), 2 more recurrences, 5 more intracranial metastases and 1 extracranial metastasis to the rib were developed. We tried fractionated stereotactic radiation therapy(FSRT) and CERT to the intracranial metastasis with satisfactory result. Extracranial metastasis to the rib was resected and histological finding was similar to that of original tumor.
