“…Some 50 cases have been reported in the literature and many have not had modern sophisticated radiographic studies to rule out intracranial origin. The most common site is the orbit and optic nerve (Khanna et al, 1964;MacMichael and and Cullen, 1969;Sood et al, 1966), the skin, particularly in children (Waterson and Shapiro, 1970), the nasal cavity (Lindstrom and Lindstrom, 1969;Pathak, 1969), the middle ear (Punt, 1965;McGavran et al, 1971), and the soft tissues of the neck (Hoye et al, 1960;Suzuki et al, 1967;Hallgrimsson et al, 1970;Shuangshoti et al, 1971;Wolff and Raukow, 1971). Extracranial meningioma, whether of the rare primary or more common secondary type, can be a diagnostic problem for the surgeon and the surgical pathologist who may be called upon to interpret small biopsy specimens of these heterogenous tumors in an anomalous setting.…”

Meningioma can be a diagnostic problem for the head and neck surgeon and the surgical pathologist by reason of extracranial manifestation and the varying histological patterns seen in small biopsy specimens submitted from various extracranial sites. During the thirty year period 405 cases of meningioma were seen at the New York Hospital and the Memorial Hospital and the clinical findings have been reviewed together with recent pertinent literature. Thirty-four cases were spinal in origin: 9 cervical, 22 dorsal, and 2 lumbar. An external mass was present in 20% of the intracranial tumors: the orbit was involved in 30 patients, the outer table and scalp in 25, the paranasal sinuses and nasal cavity in 10, and the parotid and parapharyngeal region in 5. Three cases are documented primary extracranial meningiomas arising is soft parts; one free in the orbit and two in the neck masquerading as deep lobe parotid gland tumors. The pathological features of extracranial meningioma were identical with the intracranial variety and a standard classification of the main histological types is outlined. A variety of differential diagnoses were entertained before the true nature of the neoplasm was established. The necessity for sophisticated radiographic studies and neurosurgical attention to the intracranial component of the tumor is emphasized.

“…Khang-Loon (1980) reviewed 18 previously reported cases and added his own observation of an ectopic meningioma arising from the ethmoidal sinus. Ectopic primary meningiomas have also been reported as occurring in the nose (Leroux-Robert et al, 1966;Bagchi) and Sengupta, 1969;Pathak, 1969), frontal sinus (Canciullo et al, 1963;Dyla and Gryczynski, 1976;Rao et al, 1972;Sadar et al, 1979), sphenoid sinus (Sadar, et al, 1979;Rosencrantz and Stattin, 1972) and maxillary sinus (Sadar et al, 1979;Godel et al, 1981). Half of the 32 previously recorded ectopic meningiomas of the nose and paranasal sinuses were located in the frontal sinus; the remainder were evenly distributed with respect to their sites of origin.…”
