    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Neurosurgery
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Meningiomas are typically intracranial tumors arising from meningeal coverings.
    • Extracranial meningiomas are rare and their origins are not fully understood.
    • Stellate ganglion tumors are uncommon, and meningiomas in this location are exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with a long-standing unilateral Horner syndrome.
    • Imaging revealed a mass near the stellate ganglion without central nervous system involvement.
    • Computerized tomographic scan of the brain was normal.

    Findings:

    • Histopathological examination confirmed a meningioma with characteristic structural features.
    • The tumor's location and clinical presentation suggested a primary extracranial origin.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Microscopic analysis supported the diagnosis of meningioma.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known locations for primary meningiomas.
    • It suggests that meningiomas can arise from peripheral nerve structures.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of extracranial meningiomas is warranted.
