title: Malignant meningioma with extension into the neck.
abstract: One per cent of all brain tumours and twenty per cent of meningiomas eventually develop an extracranial extension. The least common site is the neck. We report a case of malignant meningioma with extension into the neck of a 39-year-old male.
