Abstract
Clear cell meningioma (CCM) is an uncommon variant of meningioma. The authors describe a case of a pediatric CCM localized to the lumbar spine. After resection, sequencing revealed an inactivating mutation in the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex subunit SMARCE1, with loss of the second allele in the tumor. The authors present a literature review of this mutation that is associated with CCM and a family history of spine tumors.Entities:
