Six cases of primary reticuloendothelial tumors of the meninges are reported. Four of them were diagnosed histologically as lymphocytic lymphoma, 1 reticulum cell sarcoma and 1 plasmacytoma. Five of these 6 cases were males. Their ages ranged from 10-50 yr with no prediliction for any particular decade. Clinically these patients presented variable symptomatology commensurate with the location of the respective tumors, together with signs of increased intracranial tension in some instances. Histological features and literature concerning histogenesis were discussed.
