The blood vessels seen in this mitotically very active malignant neoplasm are not those encountered in meningioma. Instead, they remind me of neovasculature seen in high grade gliomas. I do not see meningothelial differentiation. The last two photos show calcospherites (they are not psammoma bodies) and associated neoplastic cells arranged in a pattern consistent with that seen in a low grade fibrillary astrocytoma. With neovasculature and easily identified mitoses in hypercellular areas, I suspect this is a small cell variant of WHO grade IV glioblastoma arising from a pre-existing low grade astrocytoma. The rare seemingly papillary structures may be found in meningioma (amianthoid fibers) as well as in some astrocytomas and mixed glioneuronal tumors. I do not see necrosis. GFAP and EMA immunohistochemical stains would help clarify the diagnosis.
