Meningiomas are a type of tumor that arises from meningothelial cells and primarily develops in intracranial space, being some of the most common benign tumors of the central nervous system. However, meningiomas can rarely occur on the scalp and are called primary cutaneous meningiomas. Since the pathogenesis of these lesions is still uncertain, these tumors still pose challenges in terms of histopathological diagnosis. In this review, we will discuss the main cases of scalp meningiomas in the literature, their classification, pathological and immunohistochemical diagnosis, differential diagnosis with other scalp lesions and the most effective treatment. This study highlights the importance of immunohistochemistry in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions located on the scalp.
