Meningioma of the mandible: imaging with CT

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2007 Jun-Jul;28(6):1157-9. doi: 10.3174/ajnr.A0503.

Abstract

We present the first description of CT of a meningioma of the mandible in the literature. Extracranial meningiomas are exceedingly rare. There have been 3 cases of meningioma of the mandible described in the literature, but none characterized with cross-sectional imaging. We describe the clinical and CT features used to establish the diagnosis as well as how to differentiate this lesion from other pathology of the mandible.
