Myxopapillary ependymoma of lumbosacral region with metastasis to both cerebellopontine angles: report of a rare case

A R Mridha et al. Childs Nerv Syst. 2007 Oct.

Abstract

Introduction: Myxopapillary ependymomas are low grade tumours that are known to recur locally even after complete excision, but metastasis to distant sites is extremely uncommon.

Case report: We report an unusual case of lumbo-sacral myxopapillary ependymoma in a 13-year-old boy with metastasis to both cerebellopontine angles. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest patient of metastatic myxopapillary ependymoma.
