Abstract
|
|
|
|
The meningiomas are slowly growing tumors arising from meningoepithelial cells and they generally occur in the intracranial space. Tumor extension to the extracranial structures occurred in about 20 percent of intracranial meningiomas. Meningiomas extending to the cervical area are uncommom. Beacuse these patients complain of localized symptoms, sometimes those tumors have been operated as cervical tumors. In this report, we incidentally found a meningioma in the left parapharyngeal space in a 63-year-old female, who was confirmed by histopathologic diagnosis to have meningioma. We report herewith this case with the review of literatures.
