case_images: Magnetic resonance imaging brain [Figure 1] done revealed a 4.1 cm x 4.3 cm x 3.2 cm intensely enhancing extra-axial lesion with central necrosis in the right CP angle cistern.
case_images: (a) Spindle cell tumor with hypo- and hypercellular areas suggestive of schwannoma. Verocay bodies (thin arrow) are seen (H and E, x20). (b) Tumor is negative for epithelial membrane antigen

case_images: Histopathology revealed that the anterior part of the tumor [Figure 2a and b] was composed of sheets and interlacing fascicles of cells along with Verocay bodies suggestive of a spindle cell tumor (schwannoma). Both the tumors in our case were confirmed with immunohistochemistry [Figure 2b and 3b].
case_images: (a) Moderately cellular tumor with oval to spindle cells arranged in sheets and whorls suggestive of a meningioma. Psammoma bodies (bold arrow) are also seen (H and E, x20). (b) Tumor is positive to epithelial membrane antigen

case_images: The lateral part of the tumor [Figure 3a and b] was composed of a moderately cellular tumor with sheets and whorls of spindle to oval cells and few psammoma bodies suggestive of meningioma. Both the tumors in our case were confirmed with immunohistochemistry [Figure 2b and 3b].
