Meningioma is one of the most common spinal extramedullary tumors, largely intradural. An extradural localization is possible but less frequent. There are two morphologically different types of meningioma: one is round, and the other is the "en-plaque" form, that grows along the dura mater like a sheet. The "en-plaque" form, is unusual. We report on an unusual case of epidural and extraspinal "en-plaque" meningioma, describing the MRI and CT features and discussing the possible principal differential diagnosis (neurolymphomatosis, plexiform neurofibromas/schwannomas and metastasis).

Abstract

Meningioma is one of the most common spinal extramedullary tumors, largely intradural. An extradural localization is possible but less frequent. There are two morphologically different types of meningioma: one is round, and the other is the "en-plaque" form, that grows along the dura mater like a sheet. The "en-plaque" form, is unusual. We report on an unusual case of epidural and extraspinal "en-plaque" meningioma, describing the MRI and CT features and discussing the possible principal differential diagnosis (neurolymphomatosis, plexiform neurofibromas/schwannomas and metastasis).
