Primary osteolytic intraosseous meningioma of the occipital bone

Primary intraosseous meningiomas are considered extradural meningiomas when no dural attachment is present. Most of them arise from the cranial bones and can present either as an osteoblastic or an osteolytic lesion. Osteolytic intraosseous meningiomas are the rarest and very few cases have been rep...

Summary:Primary intraosseous meningiomas are considered extradural meningiomas when no dural attachment is present. Most of them arise from the cranial bones and can present either as an osteoblastic or an osteolytic lesion. Osteolytic intraosseous meningiomas are the rarest and very few cases have been reported. Given that many of these may develop signs of malignancy, early histological confirmation is important in order to ensure appropriate treatment. The recommended therapy is surgery, with complete resection whenever possible. We present the case of a large primary intraosseous osteolytic meningioma within the occipital bone, which was completely excised five years ago, currently presenting no signs of recurrence.
