===Histologic grading=== |
Grading:<ref name=Ref_PSNP194>{{Ref PSNP|194}}</ref> |
*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. |
*#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: |
*#*#Sheeting architecture. |
*#*#High [[NC ratio]] clusters; clusters of "lymphocyte-like" cells. |
*#*#Hypercellularity. |
*#*#Macronucleoli. |
*#*#[[Necrosis]] not caused by treatment, e.g. radiation or embolization. |
*#''Clear cell'' or ''chordoid'' subtype. |
*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%).<ref name=Ref_PSNP13>{{Ref PSNP|13}}</ref> |
*PR +ve (approx. 75%, expression decreases from grade I to III). |
*SSTR2A +ve (approx. 95%). |
*S100 variable (up to 35% cases, usually patchy).<ref>{{cite journal |vauthors=Behling F, Fodi C, Skardelly M, Paulsen F, Tabatabai G, Honegger J, Tatagiba M, Schittenhelm J |title=The prognostic role of the immunohistochemical expression of S100 in meningiomas |journal=J Cancer Res Clin Oncol |volume= |issue= |pages= ... |
*SOX10 -ve. |
*GFAP -ve. |
*CD34 usu. -ve (approx 8% cases positive). |
