KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE

ABSTRACT

Meningiomas are slow-growing neoplasms which arise from the meningothelial cells of the arachnoid cap cells. Unlike other meningiomas, intra-parenchymal meningiomas do not originate from dura. Intra-parenchymal meningiomas are more common in males and develop earlier than regular meningiomas. Because of the rare occurrence the intra-parenchymal meningiomas, they are commonly misdiagnosed.
