  • Title: Cutaneous meningioma.
    Author: Serwatka LM, Mellette JR.
    Journal: J Dermatol Surg Oncol; 1984 Nov; 10(11):896-900. PubMed ID: 6491028.
    Abstract:
    A case of a subcutaneous meningioma is presented. It is uncommonly encountered but, because of its superficial location, is apt to present to a dermatologist. Meningioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of lesions of the scalp, especially the midline, face, and paraspinal areas. Biopsy, especially of type III, can be potentially complicated by infection or leakage of cerebrospinal fluid. Suspicion of the nature of the lesion and appropriate additional studies may avoid these complications.
