Abstract
We report a rare case of parapharyngeal meningioma extending from the intracranial space evaluated by PET with [18F]-2-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Although the parapharyngeal meningioma had a high rate of glucose metabolism, it was proved to be pathohistologically benign. The high rate of glucose metabolism of the tumor reflected tumor aggressiveness well because the tumor grew in a relatively short time.
