title: [Primary meningioma of the nose and the paranasal sinus].
abstract: Primary extracranial and extraspinal meningiomas are not very common, less than 1% out of meningiomas and with a pathogeny not well defined. Less than 60 cases have been described so far. The histopathological diagnosis can be really difficult. All the cases published were diagnosed after an anatomopathological study. We reviewed all publications about these tumors, which belong to the group of those rare neoplasms the otorhinolaryngologist must have in mind whenever he faces a paranasal sinus neoformation.
