title: Meningioma of the scalp: a case report with immunohistological features.
abstract: We report a case of a long-standing subcutaneous nodule of the scalp in a young man, with the histological features of a primary cutaneous meningioma. The results of an immunohistological study using a panel of monoclonal antibodies gave a similar pattern to that seen in intracranial meningiomas, and distinct from other cutaneous lesions which may be considered in the differential diagnosis.
