Imaging in sacrococcygeal subcutaneous myxopapillary ependymoma: Sporadically reported from Asian population

Abstract

Subcutaneous myxopapillary ependymoma in sacrococcygeal region is an unusual neoplasm. It usually affects younger age groups. Only sporadic case reports from the Asian population have been reported. We here report a case of subcutaneous sacrococcygeal myxopapillary ependymoma suspected at ultrasound, suggested at magnetic resonance imaging examination, and confirmed histologically in a 10-year-old boy. We aimed at explaining its pathology, clinical implications, management, and relevant literature review.
