Abstract

A patient with a history of angioblastic meningioma 7 years previously developed lytic metastatic disease to the femur at two separate sites. The controversy in terminology of angioblastic meningioma and hemangiopericytoma and the similarity in radiological and pathological appearance of primary and metastatic hemangiopericytoma of bone illustrate the need for an accurate clinical history to arrive at a correct diagnosis.
