Multilocular Thymic Cyst

Background: Multilocular thymic cysts (MTCs) in adults with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are rarely reported. Case Presentation: We describe a case of symptomatic MTC in a male with untreated HIV. A presumptive diagnosis was established based on radiographic imaging and biopsy. Pathologic diagnosis and exclusion of malignancy were ultimately confirmed the following thymectomy. In conjunction with starting antiretroviral therapy, the patient recovered well post-operatively with a resolution of his presenting symptoms. Conclusion: Our case report and review of the literature serve to highlight MTCs as an important clinical entity occurring in persons with HIV.

We report a case of reactive hemophagocytic syndrome (RHS) in the setting of acute human immunodeficiency virus type 1 infection (AHI). In addition, we review 11 previously reported cases of RHS precipitated by AHI and discuss strategies in the diagnosis and management of these overlapping clinical entities.

Histology And Immunohistochemistry

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.
