A rare case of myxopapillary ependymoma is reported. The tumor occurred in the cerebral hemisphere of an 8-year-old girl and had no relationship to the lateral ventricles. Microscopically, it showed abundant mucin production around papillary or reticular structures. Immunohistochemically, these tumor cells were weakly positive, with glial fibrillary acidic protein demonstrated in part of the tumor and vimentin strongly demonstrated throughout the tumor. The results may indicate the poorly differentiated nature of this tumor. This is the second reported case of intracranial myxopapillary ependymoma.
