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.
