Cutaneous meningioma of the scalp: a case report and review of literature.
Ectopic meningioma outside the skull and spinal column is uncommon. We report a cutaneous meningioma of the scalp in a 77-year-old man. A review of types and their management options are discussed. We also highlight that in certain carefully selected cases, these lesions can be treated conservatively.
