Extensive extraaxial blastomycosis granuloma at the skull base--case report

A 37-year-old female presented with a rare case of intradural, extraaxial Blastomyces dermatitidis granuloma involving a large part of the skull base. She had the principal complaint of worsening vision, but was otherwise healthy. The lesion mimicked an en-plaque meningioma on radiological examination and in gross appearance during surgery. This is a very unusual presentation for a blasto-mycosis granuloma.
