“…Most of the 19 cases reported in the literature were diagnosis using immunohistochemical markers. All reported cases that used immunohistochemistry techniques to diagnose meningioma 4 , 9 – 11 , 13 , 14 , 16 , 17 , 19 , 20 observed that the tumor cells stained positive for monoclonal antibodies against EMA and vimentin, with no immunoreactivity for S-100 protein, which was similar to our findings. However, EMA and vimentin are not useful to differentiate between meningioma and perineuroma as they both express positivity for EMA and vimentin but perineuroma the cells are spindle and elongated however, in our case they are rounded and polyhederal (meningiothelial pattern).…”

“…Of these, 13 were in female patients, which is also true of the present case. However, the age range was wide in the reported cases – between 10 and 77 years old 2 , 4 – 20 ; in the present case, the patient was 59 years old. Regarding the reported cases of intraoral primary meningioma, 6 of the 18 were in the maxilla 2 , 4 – 6 , 9 , 16 , 10 were in the mandible 7 , 10 – 15 , 19 , 20 , 2 in the buccal mucosa 17 , 18 and one in soft palate 8 .…”

“…The most common extra-cranial site is the orbits. Meningioma arising in the oral cavity is extremely rare 4 . To the best of our knowledge, 19 cases have currently been reported in the oral cavity 2 , 4 – 20 and we are reporting the first case in the hard palate.…”

Extracranial meningioma is very rare with few cases reported, especially in the oral cavity. Its diagnosis is considered a challenge owing to the unusual site of occurrence. We report, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of extra-cranial meningioma as a primary tumor in the hard palate with no detected intracranial extension. A 59-year-old Egyptian female patient presented with a 22-year history of a large painless swelling at the right side of the hard palate, which could not be seen on radiographs. An incisional biopsy was taken and, after assessment with a panel of immunohistochemical markers, the lesion was diagnosed as extracranical grade I mengiothelial meningioma. The patient did not show up for surgical excision and follow-up was not performed because of the lose of contact with the patient. Intraoral meningioma is a rare tumor. Immuohistochemical markers are important for confirming this diagnosis.
