Spinal Cord Ependymoma, MYCN Amplified

Preferred Label : Spinal Cord Ependymoma, MYCN Amplified;

NCIt synonyms : Spinal Ependymoma, MYCN Amplified; Spinal Ependymoma, MYCN-Amplified; Spinal Cord Ependymoma, MYCN-Amplified;

NCIt definition : A rare, aggressive ependymoma that arises from the spinal cord. It displays microvascular proliferation, necrosis, and high mitotic rate. It is characterized by high-level MYCN amplification. Cytogenetic abnormalities include loss of chromosome 10 and focal losses on chromosome 11q. The prognosis is poor.;

Neoplastic status : Malignant;
