General
Prevalence
- Most common primary brain tumour.[1]
- May be caused by prior radiation.[2]
- Women develop meningioma twice as likely as men.[3]
- More than 90% are solitary.
Prognosis
- Most are benign - usu. a good prognosis.
- Even benign tumors may show extensive local spread - considerable morbidity and mortality.
- Metastases are rare and then usu. after surgery.
- May be malignant - bad prognosis.
- Factors associated with unfavourable prognosis:
Genetics
- May be seen in genetic disorders such as:
- Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2).[7]

Morphologic subtypes
- Many subtypes exist.[17]
- The histologic subtypes generally don't have much prognostic significance.
- Some subtypes are high grade by definition; also see histologic grading.
Grade I
Meningothelial meningioma
- Most common.
Microscopic:
- Syncytial, nuclear clearing (pseudoinclusions).
- Whorls, Onion bulb formations.
- Few psammoma bodies.
Molecular:
- AKT E17K mutations.[18]
Fibrous meningioma
- AKA fibroblastic meningioma.
- Not collagen... but looks like it.
- It is really laminin or fibronectin.
- Spindle cells in parallel bundles.
- Few to none whorl formations.
Transitional meningioma
- AKA mixed.
- Common.
- Lobular and fasicular growth patterns coexist.
- Usu. a mixture of meningeothelial and fibromatous meningioma
Psammomatous meningioma
Microscopic:
- Psammoma bodies dominate over tumor cells.
- Irregular calcifications (confluent psammoma bodies).
- Usually found in spinal cord.
Angiomatous meningioma
- AKA vascular.
- May bleed like stink.
- May show extensive edema.
- Hyalinized vessels dominate over tumor cells.
- Degenerative nuclear atypia.
DDx:
- Vascular malformatons
- Hemangioblastoma
Microcystic meningioma
Microscopic:
- Cystic appearance.
- Increased cytologic pleomorphism of the elongated cells.
DDx:
- Clear cell meningioma
- Hemangioblastoma
Secretory meningioma
- Associated with brain edema; may have a worse outcome.
Microscopic:[19]
Molecular:
- Combined KLF4 K409Q and TRAF7 mutations.[20]
DDx:
- Metastatic mucinous adenocarcinoma.

- Lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma - case 2 - several images (upmc.edu).
- Lymphoplasmacyte-rich meningioma - case 3 - several images (upmc.edu).
Metaplastic meningioma
- No clinical significance.
- Probably do not represent true metaplasia in all cases.
- Clincal information is rquired to distinguish between bone invasion and meningiomas with bone formation.
Microscopic:
- Cartilage or bone formation.
- Myxoid or xanthomatous changes.
Grade II
Brain invasive meningioma
- Invades the brain (irregular, tongue-like).
- Absence of leptomeningeal layer.
- Brain invasion can be present in grade I tumors, these are then classified as "atypical", ie. as grade II tumors.
- The prognostic significance of brain invasion is still unclear, some studies do not show a course similiar to grade II meningiomas.[22][23][24]
Images:
Clear cell meningioma
Epidemiology:
- Usu. spinal cord.[25]
Microscopic:
- Clear cells - contain glycogen (PAS +ve).

- Myxoid appearance.
Image:
Grade III
Papillary meningioma
Microscopic:
- discohesive meningothelial tumour cells around a fibrovascular core.

Other morphological variants
These are currently not listed in the WHO as separate entities.
Histologic grading
Grading:[17]
- Grade 1:
- Low mitotic rate (< 4 mitoses/10 HPF - for whatever HPF means, see HPFitis).
- Excludes clear cell, chordoid, papillary, and rhabdoid subtypes.
- Grade 2 (either #1, #2 or #3):
- Brain-invasive meningioma.
- Invasion of meningioma into brain.
- Meninogioma with entraped GFAP +ve tissue.
- Invasion of meningioma into brain.
- Atypical meningioma (by histomorphology) - either A or B.
- A. Intermediate mitotic rate (>= 4 mitoses/10 HPF - for whatever HPF means, see HPFitis.)
- B. Three of the following five features:
- Clear cell or chordoid subtype.
- Brain-invasive meningioma.
- Grade 3 (either of the following):
- High mitotic rate (>=20 mitoses/10 HPF - for whatever HPF means, see HPFitis.)
- "Frank anaplasia"; marked nuclear atypia.
- Papillary or rhabdoid subtype.
Notes:
- Grade II soft criteria memory device HMNs: hypercellular, macronucleoli, NC ratio increased, necrosis, sheeting.
IHC
- EMA +ve (approx. 90%).[30]
- PR +ve (approx. 75%, expression decreases from grade I to III).
- SSTR2A +ve (approx. 95%).
- S100 variable (up to 35% cases, usually patchy).[31]

- GFAP -ve.
- CD34 usu. -ve (approx 8% cases positive).
- CD13 +ve.[32]
- Other CKs usually -ve (approx 6% cases positive, mostly secretory meningiomas).
Molecular
Non-syndromal meningiomas may show AKT1/TRAF7, SMO, KLF4/TRAF7, and PIK3CA mutations (1/3 of cases).[33]
- AKT/TRAF7 mutations are usually basal and associated with meningothelial histology.
- KLF4/TRAF7 mutations are highly specific for secretory histology.
- TRAF7 mutations are the first step and occur thorughout the WD40 domain. [34]
Intraventricular meningiomas have NF2 mutations. [35]
Several inherited diseases are associated with meningiomas:
- Neurofibromatosis type II[36]
- Germline SMARCE1 and SMARCB1 mutations[37][38]
- Loss of SUFU (SHH-Pathway).[39]
- Rare YAP1 fusions in a subset of pediatric meningioma (HIPPO pathyway).[40]
Methylation profiling distinguishes two major groups with six distinct clinically relevant methylation classes.[41]
DDx of meningioma & IHC[42]
- S-100 strong +ve - schwannoma.
- +ve in ~80% of fibrous meningiomas.
- CD34 +ve - solitary fibrous tumour.
- +ve in ~60% of fibrous meningiomas.
- STAT6 nuclear +ve: solitary fibrous tumour.
- EMA +ve in ~30% of solitary fibrous tumour/hemangiopericytoma.
- Claudin-1 - new kid on the block: +ve in meningioma, but low sensitivity.

- Progesterone receptor: +ve in mostly grade I and meningeothelial tumors.[44]
- Pulmonary meningothelial-like nodule
A standard work-up

- PR (progesterone receptor) +ve in > 80% of meningiomas.[46]
- Loss of PR staining predicts recurrence.
- Strong association with tumour grade:[47]
- Low WHO grade tumours usu. +ve.
- High WHO grade tumours usu. -ve.
