“…Owing to the similar results from immunohistochemical staining of type II and III meningiomas, imaging involving a combination of x-ray and MRI or CT and MRI was performed to appropriately classify the tumors. 27,37,38,40–43 Based on our findings, both x-rays and CTs were unable to show the presence of intracranial exchange, resulting in MRIs being the recommended imaging technique to determine whether a lesion is dural based. 37,38,41…”

“…Again, no intracranial lesion is found; however, interestingly, skull defects have been reported in some cases. [6,7] Finally, Type III or meningioma of the CNS and skin is characterized by an intracranial mass extending in the subcutaneous tissue most likely either from a bone defect or iatrogenically.…”

“…Several theories have been proposed to explain the development of cutaneous meningiomas, including: (1) head injuries which can lead to the displacement of superficial meningeal tissue and subsequent growth in the area where it was displaced, (2) the blockage of heterotopic rests of arachnoid between layers of soft tissue during embryonic development, (3) migration of arachnoid cells to the skin along cranial and spinal nerves, (4) persistence of an atretic encephalocele with intracranial extension, or (5) vascular turbulence that allowed the detachment and embolization of arachnoid islets [ 8 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”
