    Abstract:
    An autopsy case of intracranial multiple meningiomas associated with extracranial multiple neurinomas was presented. A 55-year-old woman, who had received surgical treatment for right parasagittal meningioma 20 years ago, gradually showed the sign of increased intracranial pressure and disturbance of the lower cranial nerves. Brain CT scan demonstrated numerous intracranial tumors. At autopsy 124 intracranial meningiomas, and neurinomas in her left cervical and right axillar portion were found. Meningiomas showed the transitional and fibroblastic type, histopathologically, and axillary and cervical tumors were the Antoni A type neurinomas. It is suggested that this case had a tendency of heterogenous and multiple origination of tumors.
