Abstract
Meningiomas are common tumours of the central nervous system (CNS) and majority of them are benign (World Health Organisation Grade 1) [1]. Among the variants, secretory meningioma (SM) is recognized by its gland-like formations [2], which mimics metastasis of adenocarcinoma to the brain. It is also known to be vascular and produces significant peritumoural brain oedema (PTBE) leading to increased perioperative morbidity. These characteristics justify its recognition, to prevent misdiagnosis by the pathologist and care during resection by the neurosurgeon.
