1. Meningioma. A, Meningiomas are dural-based neoplasms, frequently located at the cerebral convexities. While most meningiomas do not invade, the tumor can grow in size and, because of the confining space of the cranium, produce symptoms and untoward effects. B, This medium-power photomicrograph demonstrates the characteristic whorled architecture of a meningioma (arrow). Although meningiomas are frequently associated with Psammoma bodies, none are present in this image. Hematoxylin and eosin, 200×.
