Subcutaneous sacrococcygeal myxopapillary ependymoma.
We report a case of myxopapillary ependymoma presenting as a primary tumor of the subcutaneous tissue in the sacrococcygeal region. The mass was large, well-encapsulated, lobulated, and multiseptated, with varying signal intensity on T1- and T2-weighted MR images caused by hemorrhagic necrosis, blood degradation products, and calcification. Only a small viable portion enhanced after administrat...

متن کاملStabilization of metastatic myxopapillary ependymoma with sorafenib
We report on a 59-year old woman with three huge intrathoracal masses that were accidentally diagnosed when she consulted a physician for upper abdominal discomfort. A biopsy revealed that they were metastases of a coccygeal myxopapillary ependymoma, resected 20 years before. As neither resection, debulking, nor radiation therapy were considered to be indicated, systemic therapy with temozolomi...
متن کاملUnique Molecular Characteristics of Pediatric Myxopapillary Ependymoma
Myxopapillary ependymoma (MEPN) generally can be cured by gross total surgical resection and usually manifest a favorable prognosis. However, surgery is less curative in tumors that are large, multifocal or extend outside the thecal sac. Late recurrences may occur, particularly in pediatric patients. The role of adjuvant therapy is unclear in the clinical management of recurrent tumors. Clinica...
متن کاملIsolated Lumbar Spinal Nerve Root Myxopapillary Ependymoma
Myxopapillary ependymomas comprise nearly 90% of all primary neoplasms involving the cauda equina, conus medullaris, and filum terminale. Myxopapillary ependymomas that are confined to nerve roots are exceedingly rare. We describe a young patient who presented with low back pain and radiculopathy and an intradural lesion at the L2 vertebral level. Ultimately, an intradural extramedullary tumor ...
