Abstract
|
|
|
|
The authors present two cases of ectopic meningioma which are very rare. One was located at the intra-orbital space with orbital bone erosion and the total removal was performed via frontal craniotomy and superior orbitotomy. Histopathologic examination of the tumor was consistent with atypical meningioma. The other was located at the subcutaneous tissue with hyperostosis of the skull at the frontal area. We performed a total removal via frontal craniectomy. Histologically, it showed the transitional cell type meningioma. In both cases, even though ectopic miningioma is locally invasive, the prognosis is good if the total excision of the tumor is performed.
