| Abstract: | A case of myxopapillary ependymoma originating in the soft tissue is described. The tumor was located subcutaneously over the coccyx of an 11-year-old girl but was connected neither to the filum terminale nor cauda equina. Clinically, the tumor was locally resected with a diagnosis of pilonidal cyst. Histological and electron microscopic findings were identical to myxopapillary ependymoma. The tumor cells showed a positive reaction by immunoperoxidase method (PAP method) of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). ACTA PATHOL. JPN. 35 : 925–931, 1985. |
