Angiomatous meningioma (AM) is a rare World Health Organization (WHO) grade I histological subtype of meningioma, comprising 2.1% of all meningiomas. AM is characterized by numerous blood vessels with at least focal classic meningothelial differtentiation. The lesion may be easily misdiagnosed, as they are rarely encountered in clinical practice.
