Abstract:
:To clarify the cell of origin of granular cell tumors in the rat brain, light and/or electron microscopic examinations were performed on 40 cases of spontaneous meningeal tumors in Wistar (Jcl: Wistar) rats. The meningeal tumors were histologically subclassified into 3 types: meningothelial meningiomas (MMs), 3 cases; granular cell tumors (GCTs), 28 cases; and mixed forms (MIXs) of GCTs and MMs, 9 cases. Of these tumors, 2 MMs, 2 GCTs, and 3 MIXs were examined by transmission electron microscopy. Tumor cells of MMs were characterized by cytoplasmic intermediate filaments and prominent interdigitating cell processes often connected with cellular junctions without surrounding basal laminae. GCTs were composed of 2 cell types: granular cells with many dense bodies and filamentous cells with fine intermediate filaments. MIXs consisted of granular cells, filamentous cells, and intermediate cells. The tumor cells in GCTs and MIXs were apposed to each other and connected with cellular junctions. MIXs displayed a spectrum of cellular differentiation in that 2 MIXs had a close morphological resemblance to GCTs and the other one to MMs. These findings indicate there might be a histogenetic sequence among MMs, GCTs, and MIXs. The present study supports the suggestion that GCTs and MIXs may be variants of MMs from the meningeal arachnoid cell.
