Abstract
RESULTS The tumors frequently showed high vascularity on angiography and marked enhancement on computerized tomography. Grossly, six tumors exhibited a “cyst with mural nodule” and two were mostly solid containing small cysts. At operation, the tumor nodules were dark red in color and the cysts contained xanthochromic fluid. Microscopically, all tumors displayed mostly clear round cells and abundant blood vessels. Although they commonly lacked the characteristic features of ependymomas, immunostaining and electron microscopy confirmed their ependymal origin.
