Article Synopsis
  • Neuropathologic entities, though rare, can affect the sinonasal tract through different mechanisms including embryological defects and ectopic tissue remnants.
  • These entities may also arise from benign tumors that extend from the brain or nearby structures, such as pituitary adenomas and meningiomas.
  • Additionally, high-grade intracranial tumors like glioblastomas can invade the sinonasal area, making it essential for surgical pathologists to include these in the differential diagnoses of unusual sinonasal lesions.

Article Synopsis
  • - The case discusses a rare World Health Organization grade II ectopic meningioma found in the infraclavicular brachial plexus, causing pain but not linked to a primary malignant meningioma in the central nervous system.
  • - Upon surgical examination, a rubbery tumor was discovered on the median nerve, showing characteristics unlike typical schwannomas and confirmed as an atypical epithelioid neoplasm through histopathological studies.
  • - The authors emphasize the rarity of primary ectopic meningiomas and recommend surgery for complete tumor removal, along with radiation therapy, imaging, and genetic screening due to the tumor's unusual high-grade nature and potential complications.
