Meningiomas occur in a wide range of histologic patterns, with 14 variants recognized in the revised World Health Organization histologic classification system. One rare variant is secretory meningioma, which has characteristic histologic and clinical features of, and the same prognosis as, typical meningioma. Here we report the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with the clinical signs and radiologic and histologic features of secretory meningioma. We also review the literature on this rare tumor.
