“…In contrast to other studies (Friedmann et al 1972, Hamby 1944, Lombardi & Passerini 1961 there is a rather high frequence of neurinomas and a rather low frequence of gliomas in this material. The dermoids were the most frequent tumour type in the first decade of life, often following previous meningitis.…”

“…Extradural lesions are most commonly metastatic neoplasms (1). The literature reports the occurrence of extradural meningioma as 2.7 to 10% of spinal neoplasms (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12), occurring most commonly in the thoracic spine (3,4,8,10,13).…”

Background: Extradural lesions are most commonly metastatic neoplasms. Extradural meningioma accounts for 2.7 to 10% of spinal neoplasms and most commonly is found in the thoracic spine. Design: Case report. Findings: A 45-year-old woman presented with posterior cervicothoracic pain for 8 months following a motor vehicle crash. Magnetic resonance imaging of the cervical spine revealed an enhancing epidural mass. Computerized tomography of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis revealed no systemic disease. Due to the lesion's unusual signal characteristics and location, an open surgical biopsy was completed, which revealed a psammomatous meningioma. Surgical decompression of the spinal cord and nerve roots was then performed. The resection was subtotal due to the extension of the tumor around the vertebral artery. Conclusion: Meningiomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of contrast-enhancing lesions in the cervical spine.

“…[4564] In our literature review, patients with extradural meningiomas, ranged in age from 8 to 76 years old (mean, 41 years); the majority of patients were female (60%), and the lesions occurred most commonly in the thoracic spine. [91022353658] These characteristics, as well as histology and clinical behavior, seem to be no different from their intradural counterparts. [4552]…”

Dorsal extradural meningioma: Case report and literature review

et al. 2016

Background:Extradural spinal mass lesions are most commonly metastatic tumors. Extradural meningiomas are rare, accounting for approximately 2.5–3.5% of spinal meningiomas; intraoperatively, they are easily mistaken for malignant tumors, especially in the en plaque variety, resulting in inadequate surgical treatment.Case Description:Our case is one of the first to describe a patient with two purely extradural meningiomas, one each between D3–D4 and between D5–D6 vertebral levels. Surgical resection was radical, and pathologically both lesions were meningothelialmeningiomas.Conclusions:Reviewing the literature, we discuss the pathogenesis, treatment strategies, and long-term behavior of these uncommon lesions.
