Abstract

Meningiomas at extracranial sites are uncommon clinical presentations. They may present in the form of benign, slow.growing masses or may exhibit aggressive malignant behavior. We report two cases of intracranial meningiomas presenting at extracranial sites that are, at the sinonasal tract/external auditory canal and as a neck mass. The clinical presentations, histopathological features and appropriate management are discussed.
