JIMENEZ-ASCENCIO, Francisco O. et al. Primary extracranial meningioma: A case report. Rev. med. Hosp. Gen. Méx. [online]. 2020, vol.83, n.4, pp.172-175.  Epub 06-Sep-2021. ISSN 2524-177X.  https://doi.org/10.24875/hgmx.20000040.

Extracranial meningiomas are rare and comprise < 2% of all meningiomas. Only 11.5% of them are found in the nasal cavity. A case study of a 57-year-old woman is presented with a tumor with extension data through the lamina cribosa, compromising the right nasal cavity and the anterior cranial fossa. Biopsy of the lesion was performed and sent to histopathology, which showed histopathological elements suggestive of meningothelial meningioma. The biopsy was conducted together with neurosurgery, by means of bilateral frontal craniotomy and right lateral rhinotomy, for total resection of the lesion.
