• Mningioma
• Parotid
• Immunohistochemistry
• Metastases

Parotid masses remain challenging secondary to the great diversity of primary tumors that may arise in the salivary glands and propensity for regional and even distant metastases to occur in this region. Meningioma must also be considered in the differential diagnosis of parotid masses, whether from direct extension, metastases, or as an extracranial primary. We herein report 4 cases of aggressive meningioma involving the parotid gland and the pathologic considerations in evaluating these tumors.
