Abstract
Introduction: Misdiagnosis of third ventricle lesions is not that rare.

A transcallosal transchoroidal approach was performed and complete microsurgical resection of the tumor was done. Histopathological and immunohistochemistry examination features a rare diagnosis of ependymoma in the third ventricle. Conclusion: Ependymomas should not be omitted from the differential diagnosis of tumors of third ventricle despite this place to be an unusual region for these lesions and they are rarely described.
