- Abstract: The most common extradural spinal lesions are metastatic tumors. However, approximately 2.5% to 3.5% of spinal meningiomas are extradural meningiomas. This article describes a rare case of a thoracic extradural meningioma. A 58-year-old woman was admitted following two months of gait disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested an extradural meningioma at the T1-5 level. Radical surgical resection was performed, and the lesion was pathologically identified as meningothelial meningioma. Additionally, we reviewed and summarized 12 cases of spinal extradural masses since 2018. Based on the literature, we discuss the location, pathology, and clinical outcomes of these uncommon lesions.
