ABSTRACT

Meningiomas are frequently asymptomatic and often identified postmortem due to their indolent growth pattern. During an educational dissection, an incidental discovery of a meningioma was made in a male cadaver. The mass was observed in the left middle cranial fossa adjacent to the sella turcica, and subsequent histopathological examination confirmed it as a Grade I meningioma, characterized by typical psammoma body and meningothelial whorl. Anatomists should pay attention to the incidental meningioma because it could be found postmortem without prior notice on body donation and may also serve as an important part of anatomy education in terms of early clinical exposure.
