Multiple and familial meningiomas without evidence of neurofibromatosis.

This paper reports a case of multiple meningiomas in a 63-year-old woman. There was a 20-year interval between the occurrence of tumors at different sites. In addition, the patient's son manifested a histologically similar tumor. There was no evidence of von Recklinghausen's neurofibromatosis in either of the subjects or in other family members who were examined.
