Fine‐needle aspiration was performed on an orbital mass in a 53‐yr‐old woman. The cytologic diagnosis was meningioma, which was later confirmed by histologic study of biopsy material. The cytologic features of the aspirated material (nuclear pseudoinclusions, psammoma bodies, and cells arranged in syncytial sheets and whorls) allowed a rapid, reliable, outpatient diagnosis to be formulated. The cytologic features are discussed and the literature is reviewed. Diagn. Cytopathol. 1999;21:402–404. © 1999 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
