Abstract
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. 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. Primary Extracranial Meningiomas (PEMs) without intracranial origin are very rare and because of their slow growing nature are initially managed by primary care physicians.
