Abstract:
The authors report a case of a primary extracranial meningioma at the vertex a rare localization which represents less than 2% of all meningiomas. Reviewing the literature they discuss pathogenesis, pathophysiology and histopathology of this lesion.
Insights
This study presents a rare case of primary extracranial meningioma at the vertex, a location accounting for less than 2% of all meningiomas. The authors review the literature to discuss the lesion's pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and histopathology.
Area of Science:
- Neurosurgery
- Oncology
- Pathology
Background:
- Meningiomas are tumors arising from the meninges.
- Primary extracranial meningiomas are rare, with specific localizations being exceptionally uncommon.
Observation:
- A case of primary extracranial meningioma was identified at the vertex.
- This specific location represents less than 2% of all documented meningioma cases.
Findings:
- The study reviews existing literature on extracranial meningiomas.
- Discussion includes the pathogenesis, pathophysiology, and histopathology of this rare lesion.
Implications:
- Highlights the rarity of vertex primary extracranial meningiomas.
- Contributes to understanding the development and characteristics of these uncommon tumors.
