Abstract
Ependymomas usually arise within the spinal cord or in the brain. Ependymomas generally originated in the sacrum or extraspinal parasacral soft tissues and they are rare tumors. We reported a case report in the subcutaneous tissue posterior to the sacrococcygeal region. Radiologic and pathologic studies are presented. Differantial diagnosis and the pathogenesis of extraspinal ependymomas are discussed.
Keywords: Ependymoma, lomber spine, sacrococcygeal region
