Abstract

Giant cell ependymoma (GCE), is a extremely rare subtype of ependymoma. To date 14 cases have been documented in the literature. Here we present a case of GCE occuring in a 32-year- old patient with a 3-month history of progressively increasing pain in low back and right leg. Magnetic Resonance Imaging demonstrated a well circumscribed and enhancing intramedullar mass extending from L1 to L3. Tumor was totally resected. Histological and immunohistochemical findings were consistent with low grade giant cell ependymoma. This case is the first GCE of a lumbar spinal cord. All literature related to GCE was reviewed, and the clinic, radiologic, prognostic and histopathologic characteristics associated with such lesions are discussed, based on the presented case.

Özet

Dev hücreli ependimom (DHE) ependimomların oldukça nadir bir alt tipidir. Bugüne kadar literatürde 14 olgu bildirilmiştir. Bu sunumda 3 aydır giderek artan sırt ve sağ bacak ağrısı ile başvuran 32 yaşında DHE olgusunu sunuyoruz. Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile L1 den L3'e uzanan, iyi sınırlı, kontrast tutan intrameduller kitle izlendi. Tümör total olarak çıkarıldı. Histolojik ve immunohistokimyasal bulgular düşük dereceli dev hücreli ependimom tanısını koydurdu. Bu olgu lomber spinal kord lokalizasyonlu ilk DHE olgusudur. Dev hücreli ependimomla ilgili tüm literatür gözden geçirildi, olgumuzla birlikte literatürdeki olguların klinik, radyolojik, prognostik ve histopatolojik özellikleri tartışıldı.
