Subcutaneous
sacrococcygeal myxopapillary ependymoma. A case report.
Arch Anat Cytol Pathol. 1995;43(3):157-9.
A case of myxopapillary
ependymoma presenting as a primary tumor of the subcutaneous tissue of the
sacrococcygeal area is reported. The tumor usually presents as an
asymptomatic mass at the base of the spine in young individuals and may
therefore be mistaken for a pilonidal cyst. The clinical and pathological
features of this tumor are discussed.
Subcutaneous sacrococcygeal
myxopapillary ependymoma. A clinicopathologic study of 32 cases.Am
J Clin Pathol. 1984 Feb;81(2):156-61.
A clinicopathologic
investigation was performed on 32 cases of myxopapillary ependymoma
occurring as a primary tumor of the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the
sacrococcygeal area. The tumor usually presented as an asymptomatic mass at
the base of the spine in young individuals. Pilonidal cyst was the most
frequent clinical diagnosis. The excised tumors often "shelled out" easily
and none was adherent to the vertebral column or spinal cord structures. The
tumors were circumscribed and located in the subcutaneous tissue and deep
dermis. Microscopically, ultramicroscopically, histochemically, and
immunohistochemically, the cutaneous myxopapillary ependymomas showed
distinct changes. Follow-up data were available for 23 patients with a
median follow-up interval of 7 years. Six patients were followed for 15
years or longer. Metastases occurred in four patients, an incidence of 17%.
Subcutaneous sacrococcygeal
ependymoma with inguinal lymph node metastasis. Case report.:
J Neurosurg. 1988
Mar;68(3):474-7.
A patient with a
subcutaneous sacrococcygeal ependymoma and metastasis to the inguinal lymph
nodes is presented and his treatment is described. Previous reports on
sacrococcygeal ependymoma are reviewed.
