Primary Extracranial Meningioma as a very Rare Cause of Nasal Mass and Epistaxis in an Elderly
Meningioma is known to be an intracranial pathology, but it can also present extracranially. We report a case of a 55-year-old female who presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) emergency with a complaint of epistaxis for 1 day.

| description | Meningioma is known to be an intracranial pathology, but it can also present extracranially. We report a case of a 55-year-old female
who presented to the Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) emergency with a complaint of epistaxis for 1 day. There was a 7-8years history of
self-resolving intermittent epistaxis. Nasal examination revealed a mass from which biopsy was taken. The specimen showed meningioma on histopathological examination. The mass was excised by ENT surgeons through lateral rhinotomy incision. It was confirmed
to be a meningioma by final histopathological examination. The patient was discharged on 10th post-operative day after suture removal
under stable condition and was symptom free on regular follow-ups. Worldwide there have been very less number of cases of primary
extracranial meningioma causing symptoms of epistaxis, nasal obstruction and a large sinonasal mass in an elderly. |
