A 12-year-old boy with a left temporal tumor diagnosed as clear cell ependymoma (CCE) was reported. CCE is an uncommon central variant of ependymomas with a predilection for the supratentorial region in children. Brain tumors with a honeycomb pattern with clear cells having round nuclei and perinuclear halos could pose a problem in the differential diagnosis with the other tumors with clear cells. There were 41 reported cases of CCE in the literature. In 61% of these cases, tumors were located in the supratentorial region, and in the others in the posterior fossa and spinal cord. However, there was none located in the temporal lobe except in the case presented here.
报告了一名12岁患有左颞叶肿瘤的男孩，该肿瘤诊断为透明细胞室管膜瘤（CCE）。CCE是室管膜瘤一种不常见的中枢型变体，好发于儿童幕上区域。具有蜂窝状模式、细胞核圆形且有核周晕的透明细胞脑肿瘤在与其他透明细胞肿瘤的鉴别诊断中可能会带来问题。文献中报道了41例CCE病例。在这些病例中，61%的肿瘤位于幕上区域，其他的位于后颅窝和脊髓。然而，除了此处报道的病例外，没有颞叶肿瘤的相关报道。
