Primary meningioma of the nasal cavity

: Meningiomas are benign tumors developed from aracnoid meningeal cells. Its primary extracranial and extravertebral onset is a rarity, arising more frequently in the scalp and orbit. Its beginning in nasal fosae is considered exceptional. Diagnosis will be based on cranial CTY scan and histology of the whole tumour once extirpated. A case of advanced primary nasal meningioma is reported. The AA. emphasize the difficulties in presurgical diagnosis in this type of growths.
