Abstract
A 28-year-old man had a circumscribed hypertrichotic area on the left lumbar region since birth. A biopsy specimen showed numerous normal-ap pearing hair follicles and arrector pill muscles. In the subcutaneous layer a mass of dense collagenous connective tissue formed the backgro und in which ill-defined foci of meningothelial cells in nests and pse udovascular spaces were seen. Collagenous structures (pseudopsammoma b odies), some of which showed calcification (psammoma bodies), were als o seen. A diagnosis of cutaneous meningioma was made.
