  • Title: Cutaneous meningioma underlying congenital localized hypertrichosis.
    Author: Peñas PF, Jones-Caballero M, Amigo A, Aragüés M, García-Diéz A.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 1994 Feb; 30(2 Pt 2):363-6. PubMed ID: 8294599.
    Abstract:
    A 28-year-old man had a circumscribed hypertrichotic area on the left lumbar region since birth. A biopsy specimen showed numerous normal-appearing hair follicles and arrector pili muscles. In the subcutaneous layer a mass of dense collagenous connective tissue formed the background in which ill-defined foci of meningothelial cells in nests and pseudovascular spaces were seen. Collagenous structures (pseudopsammoma bodies), some of which showed calcification (psammoma bodies), were also seen. A diagnosis of cutaneous meningioma was made.
