Five meningiomas which invaded the facial bones are described. All these tumours had been known to be present for fairly long periods, varying between 4 and 18 years, and had recurred following surgery, before there was indication of facial involvement. Despite the previous history, three of the recurrent tumours caused difficulty with diagnosis.
