Ependymoma

on 19.1.09 with 0 comments



  • Relatively common in kids and adults (5-10% of primary brain tumors)

  • Tumors near the 4th ventricle

  • May be seen at filum terminale in adults (called myxopapillary ependymoma because they produce a lot of mucus and have papillary tufts)

  • Look for rosettes made of blood vessels and a circular arrangement of nuclei around them
