Abstract
A 44-year-old woman had a 13-year history of a small bulge of the left frontal region which had increased in size during the last year. At a dmission, an orange-sized, hard, fixed left frontal mass was found. Ma gnetic resonance imaging showed hyperostosis in the left frontal regio n which was causing a skull deformity and marked focal meningeal enhan cement. A hyperostotic plaque meningioma was hypothesized. In-111 octr eotide scintigraphy confirmed the diagnosis before surgery. In-111 oct reotide scintigraphy allows biologic characterization of neoplasms in vivo.
