Abstract

Primary extracranial sinonasal meningiomas are one of the rarest tumours involving the head and neck region. Very few reports exist with additional involvement of the palato-antral region. This paper describes a case of primary extracranial sinonasal meningioma with palatal involvement and the management of the same. The patient was taken up for surgical excision via intra-oral and endoscopic approaches. Postoperative healing was uneventful with no recurrence noted over 2 years. A palatal obturator was used for rehabilitation. The diagnosis of this pathology needs additional immunohistochemistry testing for confirmation and treatment entails complete surgical excision which assures no recurrence or delayed presentation of residual disease in follow-up.
 Keywords: primary extra cranial meningioma; sinonasal; maxilla ; palate.
