Slide 179: Meningioma
 |
Here we see a very cellular tumor
arising from the dura matter. There are no psammoma bodies such as we saw in slide
38.
See this slide with the
virtual microscope. |
 |
Here we see a swarming effect or
'school of fish' pattern to the neoplastic cells. There is a blood vessel to the
right of the image. Note that there are no, or very few mitotic figures. This
was a benign lesion, as most meningiomas are. Basically, this a glorified
fibroma. |
