Descriptor ependimoma
Entry term(s) ependimoma mixopapilar
ependimoma papilar
Scope note: Glioma derivado de CÉLULAS EPENDIMOGLIALES que tienden a presentarse en la infancia como tumores malignos intracraneales, y como neoplasias benignas intramedulares en los adultos. Pueden surgir de cualquier nivel del sistema ventricular o del canal central de la medula espinal. Los ependimomas intracraneales se originan con mayor frecuencia en el CUARTO VENTRÍCULO e histológicamente se trata de tumores densamente celulares que pueden contener túbulos ependimarios y pseudorrosetas perivasculares. Los ependimomas espinales generalmente son tumores papilares o mixopapilares benignos.

Scope note: Glioma derived from EPENDYMOGLIAL CELLS that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.
