Core Tip	This case report presents an unusual clinical scenario describing a 78-year-old female who was admitted after a ground-level fall. Neuroimaging unexpectedly revealed a large intracranial mass, measuring over 6 cm at its greatest and situated in the posterior falx. It was associated with extensive vasogenic edema and mass effect. This imaging finding was remarkable given the minimal symptomology of the patient's presentation with no significant neurological deficits. Only a subtotal resection was feasible in our case. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of fibrous meningioma with areas of focal necrosis. Other info: (1) Informed consent was obtained; (2) Does not apply to case reports; (3) Manuscript has been reviewed multiple times; (4) Fibrinous meningioma represents a rare and under-characterized histological variant ofmeningioma, with distinct pathological features such as extensive fibrin deposition and reduced tumor cellularity. This case does not exemplify a new treatment or new mechanism research. The case has an educational value regarding rare occurrence of subtype of meningiomas.
