Background: Diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumors are rare leptomeningeal neoplasms composed of oligodendrocyte-like cells characterized by neuronal differentiation and a lack of isocitrate dehydrogenase gene mutation.Purpose: We aimed to analyze the clinical progression, pathological characteristics, and radiological findings of diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumors in children, as well as the relevance of clinicoradiological data.Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, and Web of Science to identify case reports, original articles, and review articles discussing diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumors published between 2000 and 2021.Study Selection: The analysis included 145 pediatric patients from 43 previous studies.Data Analysis: Data regarding patient pathology, MRI manifestations, clinical symptoms, and progression were collected. The relationship between imaging classification and pathological findings was using chi-square tests. Overall survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves.Data Synthesis: Parenchymal tumors were mainly located in the intramedullary areas of the cervical and thoracic spine, and patients which such tumors were prone to 1p-deletion (c 2 = 4.77, p=0.03) and KIAA1549-BRAF fusion (c 2 = 12.17, p<0.001). The median survival time was 173 months, and the survival curve fell significantly before 72 months. Parenchymal tumor location was associated Frontiers in Oncology frontiersin.org 01
