Cervical Subependymoma: A rare case report with possible histogenesis.

Subependymomas are extremely rare lesions of the spinal cord. Only 33 cases including ours have been reported in the cervical cord. These are typically benign slow growing tumors occurring eccentrically within the cord, producing minimal neurological deficits. The clinical, radiological, and histopathological aspects of this unusual lesion have been reviewed in detail. As the histogenesis of this tumor is much debated, we propose an alternate origin for the same.
