===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.
