Abstract

Tanycytic ependymoma is a rare fibrillary variant of ependymoma with preferentially located along the length of spinal cord. This report documents a 41-year-old woman underwent surgical treatment for a cervical intramedullary tumor. Magnetic resonance imaging showed intramedullary cystic lesion, in the cervical spine. Histologically the tumor was consisted of markedly elongated spindle-shaped cells, which were immunopositive for glial fibrillary acidic protein and EMA. Although only a few in number, detection of ependymal rosettes led the diagnosis as a tanycytic ependymoma. Since a complete resection was performed at surgery, no further treatment was proposed. It is important for both management and prognosis, to distinguish pathologically tanycytic ependymoma from pilocytic astrocytoma and schwannoma.

Özet

Tanisitik epandimom tercihen spinal kord boyunca yerleşim gösteren nadir bir fibriller tip epandimomdur. Bu makalede servikal intramedüller tümör için cerrahi tedavi yapılmış 41 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunulmuştur. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede servikal omurgada intramedüller kistik bir lezyon görülmüştür. Histolojik olarak tümör glial fibriler asidik protein ve EMA ile immunpozitif olan belirgin uzantıları olan iğsi hücrelerden oluşmuştur. Sayıları az da olsa, epandimal rozetlerin saptanması tanisitik epandimom tanısını koydurmuştur. Cerrahi olarak tam rezeksiyon yapıldığı için ek bir tedavi önerilmemiştir. Hem tedavi hem de prognoz açısından tanisitik epandimomun, benzer morfolojideki pilositik astrositom ve schwannomadan ayrılması önemlidir.
