Surgical Treatment of a Supratentorial Extraventricular Ependymoma: A Case Report

Supratentorial extraventricular ependymomas (STEE) are very rare primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS).

description Supratentorial extraventricular ependymomas (STEE) are very rare primary tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). A 19-year-old man complained of headache, hemiparesis and seizures and was admitted to our hospital. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a right frontal intra-axial lesion. The patient underwent surgical treatment, and the tumor was resected successfully. A diagnosis of World Health Organization (WHO) grade 3 STEE was based on microscopic examination and immunohistochemical analysis. The patient was discharged without a neurological deficit.
