The sections show a moderately hypercellular meningioma. This has a well developed syncytial architecture. Occasional calcified psammoma bodies are also noted. Tumor cells show mild nuclear pleomorphism. A very occasional mitotic figure is identified. No areas of necrosis are seen and there is no evidence of brain invasion. Broad attachment to dural is noted. The dural margins are clear of tumor.
