Abstract
✓ The clinical course and pathological findings are described in a patient who survived 17 years following her first operation for multiple encapsulated extradural and intradural melanotic meningiomas of the cervical meninges. Although the recurrence of these tumors suggested a malignant histological component, the long history of survival, the restricted location, and absence of melanotic tumors elsewhere, and the basic histological background all favored an uncommon variant of meningioma.
