In summary, primary intracranial angioleiomyoma is rare. Thus, diagnosis and differential diagnosis are important before surgical resection, which was mimicking meningioma in our case. Pathological analysis could reveal spindle shaped cells with few mitotic features, and confirm the diagnosis of angioleiomyoma.
