Tanycytic Ependymoma

Preferred Label : Tanycytic Ependymoma;

NCIt definition : A variant of ependymoma, often found in the spinal cord, with tumor cells arranged in fascicles of variable width and cell density. Ependymal rosettes are generally absent, so this lesion must be distinguished from astrocytic neoplasms, but its EM characteristics are ependymal. (Adapted from WHO.);

Neoplastic status : Undetermined;
