Meningioma with high T2 signal

Discussion:

The patient went on to have a resection. 

Histology

Microscopic Description:  Sections show small pieces of a relatively hypocellular tumor displaying numerous hyalinized capillaries. A few foci of recognizable meningioma are seen. Areas of sclerosis are also noted. Brain tissue is not identified.

Discussion

It is important to realize that some meningiomas, especially microcystic, secretory and angiomatous variants can be very bright on T2.
