EXTRASPINAL EPENDYMOMA PRESENTING AS A SUBCUTANEOUS MASS POSTERIOR TOTHE SACROCOCCYGEAL REGION - CASE-REPORT

Ependymal cells may be found within the coccygeal ligament as well as in heterotopic positions and therefore ependymomas may rarely occur in extraspinal locations. Although the cauda equina is the most common l ocation, less than 5% of all spinal ependymomas occur extradurally in the sacrococcygeal region.1 We report a case of extraspinal myxopapill ary ependymoma arising in the subcutaneous soft tissue posterior to th e sacrococcygeal region and review the relevant literature.
