Implantation Meningioma of Scalp: An Unusual Iatrogenic Complication Following Excision of Benign Intracranial Meningioma
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2013, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
18-20% of all intracranial neoplasms. Most of them are benign in nature. Very few cases are malignant and they locally aggressive. About 1-2% of meningiomas are extra cranial meingiomas and they are commonly seen in spinal, facial and scalp regions. Most of these are primary extra cranial meningiomas. There are few reported cases of malignant meningioma metastasizing to the operative field due to tumor cell contamination. No such report of tumor contamination or metastasis was reported with benign meningioma in the literature. Author report a case of scalp meningioma developed in the skin flap used during the previous surgery for right benign meningothelial meningioma excision. Possible mechanism of development of extra cranial meningiomas was discussed.
