Abstract
Although intracranial lymphoma is the most common primary intracranial tumor among AIDS patients, we report a 25 years old HIV positive patient with a recent onset of seizures for which he was evaluated with brain scan and was found to have a left frontal lesion with cystic necrotic appearance. Pathological examination confirmed an atypical meningioma WHO grade II. This would be the seventh case in the literature of a meningioma in an HIV positive patient.
