PublicationArticle Dorsal spinal epidural psammomatous meningioma in an adult male(Medknow Publications, 2016) Sharad Pandey; Kulwant Singh; Vivek Sharma; Amrita Ghosh; Saurabh SumanMeningiomas are benign in nature and arise from the arachnoid cells. They are mostly situated in the intracranial compartment, whereas spinal meningiomas are rare. Approximately, in 10% of cases, an extradural component is seen but an exclusively extradural meningioma is quite uncommon. However, WHO Grade II (atypical) and Grade III (anaplastic) tumors can behave aggressively. We reported a case of purely extradural psammomatous meningioma in an adult male affecting the dorsal spine although uncommon meningiomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of extradural intraspinal masses.
