ABSTRACT
Meningiomas account for approximately 15% of all intracranial tumors and are the most common non-glial primary tumors of the central nervous system. Most meningiomas are benign neoplasms with characteristic imaging features. Primary extradural meningiomas account for only 1-2% of all meningiomas. They must be differentiated from intradural meningiomas with secondary extradural extension and/or metastases. The vast majority of extradural meningiomas are found in the skull or in the head and neck region. We report on an extremely rare case of primary extradural meningioma that was located in the scapula. The lesion was resected. Radiographic findings and pathologic features are discussed. To the best of our knowledge, this form of presentation of an extradural meningioma has not been previously described.
