Supratentorial Ependymoma ZFTA Fusion-Positive

Preferred Label : Supratentorial Ependymoma ZFTA Fusion-Positive;

NCIt definition : A circumscribed ependymoma that arises from the supratentorial region of the brain. It is characterized by the presence of a fusion gene involving ZFTA gene. Available data indicate that it has the poorest prognosis of all supratentorial ependymomas.;

Neoplastic status : Malignant;

NCI Metathesaurus CUI : CL1778537;
