Ectopic intracranial meningiomas originating from the external dural layer are rare. These tumors, distinct from intraosseous meningiomas, are associated with skull osteolysis but this finding lacks prognostic significance.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intracranial meningiomas typically arise from the internal dural layer.
  • Ectopic meningiomas originate from unusual locations.
  • Dural layer origin impacts classification and understanding.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a meningioma adhering to the external dural layer without internal layer involvement was identified.
  • This meningioma was associated with osteolysis of the adjacent inner skull surface.
  • Literature review identified only four similar cases of external dural layer origin.

Findings:

  • Osteolysis of the skull was a consistent feature in these external dural ectopic meningiomas.
  • Osteolysis did not appear to correlate with prognosis in the reviewed cases.

  • A distinction is proposed between external dural ectopic meningiomas and intraosseous meningiomas.

    • Implications:

    • This case and literature review highlight the importance of recognizing rare ectopic meningioma presentations.
    • Differentiating external dural ectopic meningiomas from intraosseous meningiomas is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
    • Further research may clarify the specific origins and behavior of these rare tumors.
