I don't know what this is, but I do know that it is not hemangioblastoma. Many cells show vacuolated/clear cytoplasm, but some (in figures 3 and 7) appear more like fibrillary astrocytes. I suspect this is a glioma, but the histopathology is quite unusual. As someone suggested already, one has to look for features of pilocytic astrocytoma (biphasic growth pattern, pilocytes, mucinous microcysts, Rosenthal fibers, and eosinophilic granular bodies). Are there many mitoses? More photos may help me figure this case out.
