Petrous ridge meningioma detection in a patient treated for cancer tongue

Abstract

We report a previously unreported case of a 59-year-old ex-smoker male with association between tongue squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and petrous ridge meningioma. Tongue SCC was successfully treated by partial glossectomy with left functional neck dissection, 6 months later, petrous ridge meningioma was discovered and gamma knife treatment was undertaken for it.
