A 13-year-old female Miniature Dachshund showed seizures and an intracranial mass was seen in the left temporal lobe. Three months after first surgical resection, a recurrence lesion was recognized. Histopathologically, proliferation of spindle cells with diffuse rosette-like eosinophilic deposits, which stained blue with Masson’s trichrome stain, was observed. In electron microscopy, the rosette-like deposits were consisted of bundles of minute filaments which were assumed to be collagenous fibrils. Immunohistochemically, the neoplastic cells were positive for vimentin and cytokeratin, and negative for E-cadherin, S100, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), oligodendrocyte transcription factor (Olig2), and CD204. The rosette-like collagen deposits were positive for type 4 collagen and negative for type 1 collagen. In this report, we describe histopathological features of a canine meningioma with the rosette-like collagen deposits.
