Primary calvarial meningioma

Abstract

A rare case of a diffuse calvarial meningioma in a sixty year-old female is reported. The patient presented with headache and disorientation. Imaging showed thickening of the frontoparietal calvarium on left side. In relationship to the thickened bone, there was an enhancing en-plaque meningioma. Following wide surgical resection, the histological examination revealed an intraosseous meningioma . The origin of primary intraosseous meningioma are discussed and the relevant literature is briefly reviewed.
