Further brain MRI evaluations (Figure 2) showed two extramedullary meningioma-like masses with bone involvements and frontal brain parenchymal compressions.
Hematoxylin and eosin staining (A) showing small round blue cells with a high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios, and immunostaining (B) demonstrating positivity for CD99. Magnification x100.

Upon microscopic analyses of hemotoxylin and eosin stained sections, the neoplasm displayed monotonous, closely packed small round blue cells with high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios (Figure 3A). Using immunohistochemical analyses, the cells strongly expressed CD99 (Figure 3B), vimentin, and Bcl-2.
