Primary meningioma of the scalp as a late complication of skull fracture: case report and literature review

Primary cutaneous meningioma of the scalp: a case report and review of literature

“…This study reports a case of primary cutaneous meningioma in a newly born baby girl who presented with a subcutaneous nodule on the left posterior occipital scalp. The clinicopathologic findings and immunohistochemical features of this case concur with other reports 1,5 . The negative staining for vascular, fibrohistiocytic and myogenic markers is agreement with previous reports and rule out the possibility of angiomas, histiocytomas and muscle tumors.…”

“…The negative staining for vascular, fibrohistiocytic and myogenic markers is agreement with previous reports and rule out the possibility of angiomas, histiocytomas and muscle tumors. The negative staining for S‐100, cytokeratin, CD34, CD31, CD68, alpha‐1 antitrypsin, smooth muscle actin and desmin rules out obvious nevomelanocytic, nerve sheath vascular, perithelial, fibrohistiocytic and myogenic differentiation 1,5 …”

“…The negative staining for S-100, cytokeratin, CD34, CD31, CD68, alpha-1 antitrypsin, smooth muscle actin and desmin rules out obvious nevomelanocytic, nerve sheath vascular, perithelial, fibrohistiocytic and myogenic differentiation. 1,5 Extracranial subcutaneous masses involving the scalp in newly born are rare. However, they quite often pose considerable diagnostic difficulties to the dermatopathologists.…”

A 49‐year‐old Woman With a History of Head Trauma

“…There were very few reports between 1930 and 1995 to support Cushing's claims (1, 12). However, recently, there has been an increase in the number of cases which support this theory (2, 5, 6, 10, 11). A large case–control study with cases (n = 330 meningiomas) from all over the world found that there was an increased risk of meningioma from head trauma (OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 0.9–2.6), particularly for men (OR: 5.4, 95% CI: 1.7–16.6) (9).…”

It's Not Your "Run of the Mill" Meningioma

“…Other factors that have been explored as possible risk factors for meningioma development are previous head trauma, previous breast cancer, and elevated estrogen levels. Although case studies and retrospective analysis studies have taken place, to date, there are no definitive data to support these theories (Custer, Koepsell, & Mueller, 2002;Haddad, Al-Mefty, & Abdulrauf, 2004;Phillips et al, 2002;Shaw, Kissun, Boyle, & Triantafyllou, 2004).…”
