Angiomatous meningioma in the parietal region dura of a 53-year-old man
This case came to me in consultation from an outlying hospital. It was an enhancing, dural-based mass on MRI. The referring pathologist wondered whether it was a supratentorial hemangioblastoma. The ultimate diagnosis, though, was angiomatous meningioma, a World Health Organization (WHO) Grade I tumor. Grade I tumors are generally well circumscribed, slowly progressive, and can often be cured by resection alone. The photomicrograph of the tumor below shows the meningothelial cells interrupted my numerous blood vessels.

Very interesting case. I also saw an interesting dural-based case here in Milwaukee, which I just posted on my blog (http://geniculating.blogspot.com/). Please visit and give feedback if you can! Thanks,
