Extraspinal sacrococcygeal anaplastic ependymoma: A case report

Extraspinal ependymoma is a rare, potentially malignant tumor that may mimick benign subcutaneous masses, leading to delayed diagnosis. Preoperative MRI is essential for surgical planning and achieving complete resection, which is key for curative treatment. Long-term follow-up is recommended given to the risk of late recurrence and metastases, especially in high-grade forms.

Abstract

Extraspinal ependymoma is a rare, potentially malignant tumor that may mimick benign subcutaneous masses, leading to delayed diagnosis. Preoperative MRI is essential for surgical planning and achieving complete resection, which is key for curative treatment. Long-term follow-up is recommended given to the risk of late recurrence and metastases, especially in high-grade forms.
