The meningothelial tumors have been described in literature by different authors using variable terms, such as "epithelioma", or "dural
endothelioma", or "angioendothelioma", or "fungus of the dura mater", or "fungoid tumors", or "psammoma", or "fibrosarcoma", or "meningeal fibroblastoma", or "meningoblastoma", or "mesothelioma of the meninges" [26-28].
