Malignant meningioma of the scalp.
A nodule from the scalp of a 14-year-old boy was diagnosed by light and electron microscopy as a meningioma. There was no evidence of an intracranial lesion or involvement of the bone of the skull. The tumor was excised but recurred and metastasized to lung and chest wall.
