Abstract(s)
Meningiomas are benign tumours common in the central nervous system. Primary extracranial meningiomas in the jaws are extremely rare. We performed a systematic review of all the primary extracranial meningioma arising in the jawbones reported in the English-language literature including indexed and non-indexed journals and we report a unique case in our hospital of a man with two primary extracranial meningiomas, the first frontal intradiploic and 16 years later, a second located in the mandible. We found 14 cases with primary jaws meningioma and we report another one. A mandibular predominance was observed with only four cases in the maxilla. Most of them occurred in women, with a mean age of 35.9 years. It is the first published case of a patient with two primary extracranial meningiomas one of them in the mandible, which the gender, age and laterality of the lesion are less frequent.
