title: Oxytalan fibres in meningiomas and meningeal neomembranes.
abstract: The incidence of oxytalan fibres was studied in 202 meningiomas and 30 neomembranes. Oxytalan fibres were present in all samples of neomembranes and in the majority of meningiomas; 81% of the fibroblastic meningiomas contained oxytalan fibres. Their frequency was lowest in malignant meningiomas.
