Secretory meningiomas of the orbit.
Meningiomas are histologically heterogeneous tumors with at least 15 different subtypes. They can be subdivided into well-differentiated, atypical, and anaplastic or malignant categories. The secretory meningioma is a well-differentiated variant, is relatively rare. Orbital involvement of secretory meningiomas is rarity. We report two cases of secretory meningiomas of orbit and review of current literature.
