In the past, extraneural metastasis of central nervous system tumors was considered to be a rare event. However, more recently, a considerable body of lite...
A case of metastasizing ependymoma is described, only the second in the British literature. The tumour, which arose in the cauda equina, spread to humerus ...
From a series of 66 cases of central nervous system ependymomas, three cases of well differentiated ependymoma of the cauda equina are described. These tum...
The study involved 77 myxopapillary ependymomas of the spinal cord encountered during a 60-year period (1924鈥 1983). This variant of ependymoma was, with f...
Background . Although myxopapillary ependymomas are generally benign with a tendency for slow growth and local recurrence, they are capable of spread withi...
This paper reports a case of the rare entity of an extraneural metastasizing ependymoma of the spinal cord. The tumor which arose in the conus medullaris a...
Myxopapillary ependymoma (MPE), which is a benign histological subtype of ependymoma, is found predominantly in the cauda equina region. It occurs rarely i...
We report a rare case of extraneural metastasis of spinal ependymoma that developed over a very long period. A 28-year-old man underwent surgery for ependy...
This represents the first reported case of pulmonary metastasis from an extradural ependymoma in a subcutaneous location in the sacrococcygeal region. The nature of the metastasis was documented by tissue culture and ultrastructural exam...
Primary malignant neoplasms of the nervous system differ from other types of malignancy in several ways. Clinical progression is due to local invasive grow...
