Abstract
A 9-year-old boy was admitted with a circumscript subcutaneous tumor of the sacral region. Serum alpha-fetoprotein was not elevated. The lesion was excised en bloc including the top of the coccygis. Histology revealed a myxopapillary ependymoma without bony involvement. Metastases were excluded. Extraspinal myxopapillary ependymoma is a rare tumor of the sacrococcygeal region with a potential risk to develop metastases and for local relapse. Long-term follow-up is recommended.
