Summary of

Ependymoma

Ependymomas arise from ependymal cells that line the ventricles and passageways in the brain and the center of the spinal cord. Ependymal cells produce cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These tumors are classified as supratentorial or infratentorial. In children, most ependymomas are infratentorial tumors that arise in or around the fourth ventricle. The 2016 WHO classifcation indicated one genetically defined ependymoma subtype has been accepted: Ependymoma, RELA fusion–positive [33, 36]. This variant accounts for the majority of supratentorial tumors in children. (Louis DN, 2019)
