Spinal tanycytic ependymomas.

Abstract:

:Three cases of spinal tanycytic ependymoma are reported, a man aged 45 years and two women aged 36 and 55 years. Each patient developed gradual paraparesis over a few months prior to admission. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an enhancing, well-circumscribed tumor in the spinal cord in each case. Histologically, the tumors consisted of monotonous proliferation of long spindle cells with markedly eosinophilic cell processes; focally forming perivascular pseudorosettes. The tumor cells were strongly immunopositive for glial fibrillary acidic protein, S-100 protein and vimentin. Ultrastructurally, in addition to massive intermediate filaments, many tumor cells showed abundant microtubules. Well-developed desmosomes and microvilli/cilia-lined microlumina were occasionally observed. The tumors were grossly totally removed and the patients remain recurrence free at 9, 9, and 2 years postoperatively. Reviewing reported cases including our three cases, tanycytic ependymoma may occur frequently in spinal cord, especially in the cervical region of the spinal cord. Since histologically it resembles pilocytic astrocytoma and schwannoma, tanycytic ependymoma should be included in the differential diagnosis of benign spindle cell tumors of the central nervous system.
