Immunophenotype of Myxopapillary Ependymomas

Applied Immunohistochemistry & Molecular Morphology, 2013
Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a slow-growing tumor occurring almost exclusively in the region of conus medullaris, cauda equina, and filum terminale. On microscopic examination, some of these tumors show solid sheets of cells with an epithelioid morphology mimicking a metastatic carcinoma.

Intrasacral myxopapillary ependymoma

Neuroradiology, 1994
Intrasacral ependymomas are rare, accounting for only a small fraction of primary sacral tumors. They are typically large at diagnosis, which is preceded by a long history of pain. We present a case discovered during investigation of infertility. MRI features of the myxopapillary subgroup are described.

Clinicopathological features of myxopapillary ependymoma

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2014
Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE) is a rare and distinct variant of ependymoma with a tendency for local recurrence and metastasis. Its clinicopathological spectrum is heterogenous, underscoring the need to understand and characterize MPE for better diagnosis and treatment.

Resection of myxopapillary ependymomas in children

Journal of Neurosurgery: Pediatrics, 2007
Currently, the optimal treatment of children harboring myxopapillary ependymomas of the spinal cord remains somewhat debatable. The authors present a retrospective study in which they evaluated the records of patients in whom resection of these lesions had been performed.Fourteen pediatric patients who had undergone resection of a spinal cord tumor ...

Subcutaneous sacrococcygeal myxopapillary ependymoma

Medical and Pediatric Oncology, 1998
We report an 8-year-old boy with a primary subcutaneous sacrococcygeal ependymoma, a rare tumor that is thought to arise in embryologic rests. The lesion was completely removed in our patient, who has been followed without recurrence for 20 months.
