Case Description: A 20-year-old woman presented with exophthalmos, diplopia and a mass in the left supraorbital area. Imaging study revealed an enhanced intracranial extradural mass with bone destruction. The patient had a history of cutaneous malignant melanoma surgery on the same location 1 year before. The patient underwent left frontotemporal craniotomy for total resection of the mass. Histological study revealed the intracranial mass to be an atypical meningioma. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is a rare report of a patient with this tumor occurrence. This case serves to remind neurosurgeons of the potential existence of benign and/ or malignant tumors of neural crest origin.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/208d5397-a0e6-4542-b6e3-e1ccf956016a/featured/hero-1782421061442.png","publishDate":"2010-10-06T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/2152-7806.70853","categories":["Original Article"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/3158/SNI-1-60.pdf"}
