| Abstract: | We describe a pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) in a young girl whose frontal lobe location, solid structure, dural tail and MRI signal characteristics led to a preoperative diagnosis of meningioma. PXA should be considered in differential diagnosis of tumours affecting young patients with neuroradiological characteristics suggestive of meningioma. Received: 4 July 1997 Accepted: 12 May 1998 |
