Abstract:
Meningioma is one of the most common tumors of the central nervous system. However, primary extra cranial meningioma is rare as it consists 1%-2% of meningioma. It is very rare in paranasal sinus and accounts for about 0.1% of the paranasal sinus tumor. The treatment of choice is complete surgical excision of the tumor. Herein, with a review of the literature, we report a rare case of primary extra cranial meningioma in a 38-year-old male.
