The authors report the case of a 57-year-old woman operated in 1992 for meningeal haemangiopericytoma. Nine years later, this patient was operated for a liver tumour and then a renal tumour, which were both diagnosed as haemangiopericytoma and therefore corresponded to metastases of the primary tumour. The presence of a renal tumour in a patient previously operated for meningeal haemangiopericytoma should raise the suspicion of renal metastasis. Localized metastases can be treated by surgical resection. The possibility of late recurrence justifies annual thoraco-abdominal CT scan and bone scan for more than ten years.
