Comments:
High power view of a psammomatous meningioma demonstrating the classic concentric calcifications. Psammomatous meningiomas need to have over half of the tumor mass composed of psammoma bodies. They probably start out as transitional meningioma that over time undergoes calcification obscuring the underlying meningothelial cells.
