Primary ectopic meningiomas, rare tumors outside the brain, can occur in the skull. This report details a successful surgical removal of a temporofrontal ectopic meningioma in a teenager, with no recurrence after two years.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Primary ectopic meningiomas are rare tumors that arise outside the central nervous system.
  • These tumors can present as masses in various locations, including the skull.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A 16-year-old male presented with a large temporofrontal mass.
  • Skull X-ray revealed a soft tissue shadow with hyperostosis of the frontal and temporal bones.
  • CT scan demonstrated a hypervascular lesion with associated bony changes and no intracranial extension.

Findings:

  • The temporofrontal mass was confirmed as a primary ectopic meningioma.
  • Complete surgical excision of the tumor and involved hyperostotic bone was achieved.

  • The patient remained disease-free with no signs of recurrence two years post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering ectopic meningiomas in the differential diagnosis of skull masses.
    • Surgical resection is an effective treatment modality for primary ectopic meningiomas.
    • Long-term follow-up is recommended to ensure no recurrence of these rare tumors.
