Microcystic meningiomas is a distinct morphological variant of meningiomas, characterized by loose texture and microcysts with formation of large extracellular spaces containing edematous fluid. We reported a case of microcystic menigiomas in 37 year old male patient had underwent radiotherapy for treatment of NHL 22 Years back. The tumor showed diffuse immune histochemical reactivity for VIMENTIN, EMA, S-100 protein, ultrastructure study confirmed the menigiomatous nature of tumor. Radiation exposure would be one of the etiological factors along with genetic instability and patient required multimodality of treatment along with regular surveillance.
