The authors report a rare meningioma–primary cerebral B cell lymphoma association that occurred in an insulin‐dependent type‐I diabetic woman. The woman was initially operated on because of meningothelial meningioma of the fronto‐basal region, and 2 months later showed a primitive‐non‐Hodgkin B cell lymphoma, localized in the same area as the meningioma. The published literature on the meningioma–primary cerebral lymphoma association is revised.
