Background: Immortal cell lines and cell lines derived from operative specimens transplanted into animal models are used in meningioma research. We address 2 criticisms of the mouse xenograft flank tumor model: Why are tumor induction rates derived from operative specimens low and inconsistent? Are flank tumors meningiomas?Methods: Meningioma cell cultures were processed for Giemsa-band karyotyping and flow cytometry. Mouse flank tumors induced Subcutaneously were analyzed microscopically, immunohistochemically, and ultrastructurally. Giemsa-band studies identified meningiomas with simple karyotype (
