Ectopic subgaleal meningioma and familial neurofibromatosis.
A 14-year-old male adolescent presented with progressive enlargement of the forehead and a history of familial neurofibromatosis. Plain x-ray films of the skull, computed tomography scanning, and carotid angiography were performed prior to removal of the tumor. Pathologic verification of an ectopic subgaleal meningioma prompted the report of this rare tumor.
