The low-power photos and anatomic location suggest hemangiopericytoma. However, the vascular pattern is not consistent with this possibility. High-power photos seem to show a few plasma cells and small lymphocytes in addition to poorly differentiated neoplastic cells. These neoplastic cells are pleomorphic and they seem to have clear cytoplasm. To me, a vague nested pattern is present. I do not favor a lymphoma. I don't see meningothelial differentiation or true rhabdoid cells to support rhabdoid meningioma. Dura-based PNET is rare, and should be carefully ruled out by immunohistochemical stains (GFAP, synaptophysin, NSE). Metastases certainly need to be ruled out. Is there any known malignancy (such as rhabdomyosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, synovial sarcoma, paraganglioma, etc) in her clinical history? Please share your immunohistochemical results with us to narrow the search for the final diagnosis.
