Abstract EN
Background.
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.
Methods.
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.
Results.
There was no recurrence even up to 20 months of follow-up after endoscopic excision.
Conclusion.
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.
