Intraosseous meningioma: a rare tumor reconstructed with porous polyethylene.

A 45-year-old woman described the pain and the swelling at the left frontoparietal region. No significant findings were noted on physical examination, except a heterogeneous palpable lesion at the described region. Computed tomographic scan revealed an expansive bone lesion with homogeneous density, whereas magnetic resonance imaging revealed similar findings with no contrast enhancement. The lesion was totally resected, and cranioplasty with a porous polyethylene sheet (Medpor Biomaterial; Porex Surgical, Newnan, GA) was achieved. Histopathologic examination revealed an intraosseous meningioma. As far as we know, this case is the first case, in which total excision of the interosseous meningioma is followed by reconstruction with Medpor.
