a glioma derived from differentiated ependymal cells
a relatively benign tumour that originates from so called 'ependym cells'
a benign tumor arising from the ependymal cells inside the ventricles.
A growth in the brain or spinal cord arising from ependymal tissue. Tumor of the spinal cord.
Benign growth in the brain or spinal cord arising from specialised ependymal cells.
A type of brain tumour. It can start in any part of the brain or spine.
A type of brain tumor, which arises from the ependymal cells that line the ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord. Ependymomas represent about 6% of all gliomas, and 10% of all childhood brain tumors.
A type of brain tumor derived from the cells that line the cavities within the ventricles of the brain and the central canal of the spinal cord.
Ependymal tumors are tumors that begin in the ependyma, the cells that line the passageways in the brain where special fluid that protects the brain and spinal cord (called cerebrospinal fluid) is made and stored. There are different kinds of ependymal tumors, which are defined by how the cells look under a microscope.
Tumor that has developed from abnormal ependymal cells.
Ependymoma are tumors arising from the inner lining of the cerebral ventricles (= intracranial) and the remnants of the central canal in the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas are usually seen in children. Spinal ependymomas arise more often in adults.
