Abstract
Clear cell meningioma is a rare morphological form of meningioma. This case report describes a very rare case of multifocal clear cell meningioma in the sacral and lumbar spine. The patient was a 20-year-old female who presented back pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large tumour at L4 to S2 level associated with two, smaller, satellite tumours at the lumbar level. An intra-extradural tumour was surgically removed and the pathological diagnosis of clear cell meningioma was confirmed. Both satellite lesions were also resected and their histopathological diagnosis was the same. Therefore, clear cell meningioma should be considered in young patients with suggested meningioma in the lumbar spine, as well as the possibility of multifocal origin and postoperative recurrence.
