| Abstract | Introduction: Although meningioma is the most common non-glial tumor of intracranial space, primary extra cranial meningioma is rare and comprises less than 2% of all meningioma. Case Presentation: We report a case of slowly progressing extracranial meningioma that was presented in a young adult woman. The tumor was asymptomatic but large enough to cause cosmetic discomfort. Patient underwent successful and complete surgical resection of her tumor and eventually fully recovered. Conclusions: Primary Extracranial Meningiomas (PEMs) without intracranial origin are very rare and because of their slow growing nature are initially managed by primary care physicians. | en |
