Abstract

Primary meningeal lymphomas are rare. Here, we discuss a case of a 59 year old female who underwent an operation to remove a dural based frontal mass that was thought to be meningioma preoperatively. Histopathological assessment revealed the tumour to be a meningeal MALT lymphoma with amyloid deposition. Dural lymphomas may mimic meningiomas and subdural hematomas radiologically. Distinction of a primary meningeal MALT lymphoma from a lymphoplasmacytic meningioma may be difficult based solely on morphological grounds and ancillary tests are often necessary.
