✦ Synopsis

We report the cytogenetic findings in two meningiomas from a child presenting with multiple meningiomas. In contrast to the chromosomal profile of adult meningiomas, both tumors studied revealed excess of chromosomes in addition to monosomy 22. This difference is remarkable considering several reports indicating that childhood meningiomas behave differently and have a worse prognosis than those in adults.

## Abstract Cytogenetic studies of eight meningiomas in young children or adolescents were performed. Two tumors exhibited normal karyotypes.

We describe a patient who developed multiple meningiomas but had no clear evidence of neurofibromatosis type 2. Four of the tumors, derived from three different sites, were analyzed cytogenetically and/or at the DNA level using chromosome 22 specific probes. All four tumors showed loss of the same c
