Pediatric nondura-based clear cell meningioma of the cauda equina: case report and review of literature

Clear cell meningioma (CCM) is a rare variant of meningioma. Only 17 cases have been previously reported in children. Although it has bland cytologic features, it has a higher rate of recurrence than does conventional meningioma. This variant has been reported in sites such as spinal/intradural (lumbar and thoracic), cerebellopontine angle, and supratentorial. The differential diagnosis of CCM includes microcystic meningioma, hemangioblastoma, and clear cell ependymoma. The characteristic histology and immunohistochemistry leads to the diagnosis. We present a case of a 7-year-old boy with a CCM of the cauda equina and a review of pediatric CCM.

Ependymomas, tumors of the ependymal cells, are very rare and usually present in the pediatric population. Furthermore, there are even rarer variants of ependymomas that can include cellular, papillary, clear cell, and tanycytic subtypes. We present a case of a supratentorial tanycytic ependymoma in an adult male and review the literature in regard to this rare primary central nervous system neoplasm.
