Microscopic evaluation
- A woven architectural pattern
- Psammoma bodies (spheroid calcifications)
- Syncytial cells (having indistinct cell membranes) with eosinophilic (pink) cytoplasms
- Round uniform nuclei
- Whorls (concentric cell arrangements)[1]
Look for the signs of both typical meningioma and main histological variants. On frozen sections, mention the presence of atypia/high-grade cells.

![Meningioma, low-grade and high-grade. H&E stain.[3]](/File:Low-grade_and_high-grade_meningioma.png)
On permanent sections, classify by WHO grade:
| WHO Grade I | WHO Grade II | WHO Grade III |
|---|---|---|
| Benign | Atypical | Malignant |
|
|
|
Reporting
Example frozen section report:
| A. Right frontal tumor: -Meningioma. Negative for atypia. |
Example permanent section report:
| A. Right frontal tumor: -Meningioma, WHO grade 1. |
