Abstract
Meningiomas are generally benign tumors that can cause symptoms if vital structures are compromised. Altered visual function and optic atrophy may be the only presentation of intracranial and orbital tumors. Intracranial meningiomas may be associated with systemic conditions that can infiltrate the optic nerve, including lymphocytic disorders. Lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) is a rare cutaneous disorder involving infiltrating clonal T-cells that has been associated with disseminated lymphomatic skin tumors. It is unclear if there is a direct association between LyP and meningiomas.
