Key Clinical Message Meningiomas are slow‐growing tumors that develop from the arachnoid cap cells' meningothelial cells. Males are more likely to develop intra‐parenchymal meningiomas, which also manifest earlier than ordinary meningiomas and are uncommon. Abstract Meningiomas are slow‐growing neoplasms which arise from the meningothelial cells of the arachnoid cap cells. Unlike other meningiomas, intra‐parenchymal meningiomas do not originate from dura. Intra‐parenchymal meningiomas are more common in males and develop earlier than regular meningiomas. Because of the rare occurrence the intra‐parenchymal meningiomas, they are commonly misdiagnosed.
