RESUMEN
We present a 50-year-old patient who had undergone stereotactic radiosurgery for a cerebellar vermian arteriovenous malformation. On routine surveillance MR imaging a lesion suggestive of a meningioma was demonstrated and removed. Histologically it was found to be intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia (Masson's tumour). The characteristic radiological and histological findings are presented. Aspects of management of this rare tumour are discussed. Given that cases are often found in combination with a vascular abnormality, we discuss the possibility of a change in local haemodynamics after radiosurgery promoting development of this tumour.
