Extracranial meningiomas can present in atypical locations and may have distinct symptoms that require specific treatment strategies based on tumor size, location, and effects on adjacent structures. Herein, we present a case of extracranial meningioma on the left side of the neck in a 64-year-old female. The diagnosis was confirmed via histological examination and immunohistochemical staining. The patient underwent a surgical procedure that included histological biopsy and resection of the neck soft tissue lesion combined with peripheral nerve decompression, which is the standard treatment for symptomatic meningiomas.
