Core Tip

Core Tip: Meningiomas are rare benign tumors originating from the meningothelial arachnoid cells that rarely occur in an extracranial location. So herein we present a rare case of extracranial meningioma in the maxillary sinus of a 54-year-old female presenting with right buccal swelling. Headache was the only symptom. This case mainly focuses on the diagnosis and surgical management with reduced post-surgical complication and provides an insight and surgical guideline in treatment planning.
