Abstract
A case of ectopic meningioma is described and the relevant literature reviewed. Apart from intraorbital tumours, there are fewer than a score of described cases. Of these eight have been found in skin or subcutaneous tissue. The view expressed by some authors that such ectopic tumours are evidence of Cohnheim's cell rest origin of neoplasms is challenged. Our view is that ectopic meningioma is a soft tissue tumour unusually differentiated.Keywords
