Malignant meningioma with intra- and extra-cranial extension: A case report
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Meningioma is the most common intracranial benign neoplasm. The malignant transformation of this neoplasm is less frequent. Here, we report the case of a 77-year-old male patient who came to our department with a visible mass in the scalp for 1½ years. The mass was gradually increasing in size, soft in nature, not painful, and associated with the left-sided weakness. His multidetector computed tomography showed lesion which is having an intracranial omponent with the destruction of a vault with extracranial extension. This imaging modality gives a clear-cut picture of the extent of the lesion, nearby structures, and vascularity to give the surgeon proper guidance in two, three, and four dimensions.
