Description
Summary:Extra cranial primary meningioma of sinonasal tract is a rare entity. It is often misdiagnosed as nasal polyp. Here we report a case of a primary ethmoid sinus meningioma with extension into the nasal cavity in a 41-year-old man. The tumor was completely excised via endoscopic endonasalapproach and the histologic diagnosis of meningioma was established. The patient was regularly follow up for 12 months without recurrence of the tumor. The final diagnosis of primary sinonasal meningioma is based on histopathology and immunohistochemistry analyses results. The importance of complete surgical resection is undoubted and also is a goodindicator prognosis. The otolaryngologists should be aware of the diagnosis of primary meningioma; despite of its rarity it is considered as a possible cause of nasal obstruction. •Primary extra cranial meningioma is rare and its Histogenesis is still unknown.•Clinical presentation of sinonasal ectopic meningiomas is not specific.•Diagnosis is based on histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry.•Complete resection is not always possible due to complex anatomy of nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses.
