Abstract
Large extracranial extensions of intracranial meningiomas are rare. We report the case of a 63-year-old man with a giant parietal occipital meningioma, which was removed successfully without significant complications. The tumor's total 2600-g mass makes it one of the largest of central nervous system origin ever resected. We detail the problem of dealing with such a tumor and review similar cases.Keywords
