Meningioma is a central nervous system tumor that typically arises in proximity to meninges. Extracranial primary atypical meningioma of sinonasal tract is a rare one.
We discuss the clinical, radiological, and histological presentation of an elderly female with primary atypical meningioma of the nasal cavity, which was excised via endoscopic endonasal approach.
There was no recurrence even up to 20 months of follow-up after endoscopic excision.
Extracranial primary atypical meningioma should be kept in mind as one of the differential diagnoses of nasal mass. Histopathological diagnosis along with immunohistochemistry should be used for definitive diagnosis.
脑膜瘤是一种中枢神经系统肿瘤,通常起源于脑膜附近。鼻窦原发性非典型脑膜瘤较为罕见。
我们讨论了一名老年女性鼻腔原发性非典型脑膜瘤的临床、影像学和组织学表现,该肿瘤通过鼻内镜鼻内入路切除。
内镜切除术后随访长达20个月均无复发。
鼻窦原发性非典型脑膜瘤应作为鼻腔肿物的鉴别诊断之一予以考虑。明确诊断应采用组织病理学诊断并结合免疫组织化学检查。
