  • Title: Subcutaneous sacral ependymoma--a histopathological challenge.
    Author: Helbig D.
    Journal: J Cutan Pathol; 2016 Jan; 43(1):71-4. PubMed ID: 26289839.
    Abstract:
    Subcutaneous myxopapillary or sacral ependymoma are rare tumors mostly developing in children or adolescents. The majority occurs in the sacrococcygeal region. There are numerous clinical and histopathological differential diagnoses. Owing to the fact that there have been rare reported cases that followed an aggressive course and in which the patient succumbed to metastatic disease, long term follow-up is necessary despite complete excision. We describe here a 25-year-old male patient with a histological unusual subcutaneous sacral ependymoma and discuss the differential diagnosis as well as treatment options.
