Summary:Introduction Rhabdoid meningioma (RM) is a special type of meningioma, The pathologic features of RM include sheets of rhabdoid tumor cells with or without the findings typical of conventional meningiomas. Since the disease is rare, and the histologic structure similar to that of other tumors, misdiagnosis and failure to include the entity in the differentiation can occur from time to time. In this article, the pathologic features and immunophenotype of RM are analyzed, in combination with analysis of a case treated at our institution and a review of the literature.
