Ependymoma

Ependymoma is a tumor that arises from the ependyma, a tissue of the central nervous system. Usually, in children the location is intracranial, while in adults it is spinal. The common location of intracranial ependymoma is the fourth ventricle. Rarely, ependymoma can occur in the pelvic cavity.Syringomyelia can be caused by an ependymona.Ependymomas are also seen with Neurofibromatosis Type II. (From the Wikpedia article Ependymoma.)
