  • Title: Myxopapillary ependymoma with extensive sacral destruction: CT and MR findings.
    Author: Moelleken SM, Seeger LL, Eckardt JJ, Batzdorf U.
    Journal: J Comput Assist Tomogr; 1992; 16(1):164-6. PubMed ID: 1729299.
    Abstract:
    There have been few reports documenting primary myxopapillary ependymomas in the sacrococcygeal region that result in extensive involvement of the sacrum. We present a 21-year-old man whose CT and MR findings showed massive bony destruction of the sacrum and a large lobulated soft tissue mass. Myxopapillary ependymoma should be included along with giant cell tumor, chordoma, and aneurysmal bone cyst in the differential diagnosis of a destructive osteolytic sacral lesion.
