Posterior Fossa Ependymoma

Preferred Label : Posterior Fossa Ependymoma;

NCIt definition : A circumscribed ependymoma that arises in the posterior fossa. The diagnosis of posterior fossa ependymoma should be made either when molecular analysis for DNA methylation profiling cannot assign a molecular group (not elsewhere classified -NEC) or when the molecular analysis for DNA methylation profiling was unsuccessful or not reported (not otherwise specified-NOS).;

Neoplastic status : Undetermined;

NCI Metathesaurus CUI : CL1778979;
