Abstract
Histopathologically, MA is characterized by a plaque-like proliferation of meningothelial and fibroblast- like cells surrounding small vessels and trapping islands of gliotic cortical tissue. The lesion does not show significant atypia, mitosis or necrosis. Although all cases of MA share unifying features, there are different degrees of histological presentation with cases predominantly cellular and others more fibrous and calcified. This could correspond to different stages in the evolution of the MA. Symptoms disappear with the complete excision of the lesion.
