A case of primary meningioma of the nasal cavity and ethmoidal sinus of a 65-year-old man is described. The clinical and pathologic characteristics of the 18 cases previously reported in the literature are reviewed. Although the histological features and biological behavior of the tumors were found to be similar to that of intracranial meningioma, primary meningiomas of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses were found more often to involve male patients and young individuals. Meningiomas should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any lesion in a young patient with progressive exophthalmos, nasal obstruction, or episodes of epistaxis. The pathogenesis of extracranial meningiomas is briefly discussed.
本文描述了一名65岁男性鼻腔和筛窦原发性脑膜瘤的病例。回顾了文献中先前报道的18例病例的临床和病理特征。尽管发现这些肿瘤的组织学特征和生物学行为与颅内脑膜瘤相似，但鼻腔和鼻窦原发性脑膜瘤更常累及男性患者和年轻人。对于有进行性眼球突出、鼻塞或鼻出血发作的年轻患者，任何病变的鉴别诊断都应考虑脑膜瘤。本文简要讨论了颅外脑膜瘤的发病机制。
