Acta Clin Belg. 1998 Aug;53(4):282-4. doi: 10.1080/17843286.1998.11754176.

Abstract

We report the case of a 25 year old male who presented with a well-circumscribed mass in the infratemporal fossa, without intracranial localisation. On histological examination, this tumor was a transitional type of meningioma. We review the literature and discuss the pathogenesis and the differential diagnosis.
