An ectopic meningioma (or primary ectopic meningioma) refers to rare situations where a meningioma arises outside the dura. Extracranial meningiomas are a special form of these outside the dural covering of the brain and spinal cord.
These can occur at various sites but usually occur in the head and neck region.
Reported sites include
- scalp skin
- ear and temporal bone
- sinonasal tract
- mandible
- orbit - primary orbital meningioma
Very rarely it can also arise outside the head and neck region such as
- lung - primary pulmonary meningioma
