(1) Introduction: Primary intraosseous osteolytic meningiomas (PIOM) are non-dural-based tumors predominantly presenting an osteolytic component with or without hyperostotic reactions. They are a subset of primary extradural meningiomas (PEM). In this study, we present a peculiar case with a systematic literature review and propose a new classification considering the limitations of previous classification systems. (2) Materials and Methods: Using a systematic search protocol in Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus databases, we extracted all case studies on PIOM published from inception to December 2020. A 46-year-old female patient form Dhaka, Bangladesh, was also described. The search protocol was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. (3) Results: Here, we present a 46-year-old female patient with PIOM who successfully underwent bifrontal craniotomy and gross total removal (GTR) of the tumor. At 6-month follow-up, no tumor recurrence was shown. Including our new case, 55 total cases from 47 articles were included in the analysis. PIOMs were in closer frequency among males (56.4%) and females (43.6%). The most common tumor location was the frontal and parietal calvarium, most commonly in the frontal bone (29.1%). Surgical resection was the predominant modality of treatment (87.3%); only 1.8% of patients were treated with radiotherapy, and 5.4% received a combination of surgery and radiotherapy. Gross total resection (GTR) was achieved in 80% of cases. Extracranial extension was reported in 41.8% of cases, dural invasion in 47.3%, and recurrence in 7.3%. Whole-body 68 Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT has also been reported as a useful tool both for differential diagnosis, radiotherapy contouring, and follow-up. Current treatments such as hydroxyurea and bevacizumab have variable success rates. We have also suggested a new classification which would provide a simple common ground for further research in this field. (4) Conclusions: Surgical resection, especially GTR, is the treatment of choice for PIOM, with a high GTR rate and low risk of complications and mortality. More research is needed on the differential diagnosis and specific treatment of PIOM.
