Tanycytic ependymoma is a rare variant of ependymoma which has a predilection for the spinal cord. It is a WHO grade II tumour with favourable outcome. Although squash cytology of ependymoma is well described, there is sparse literature available on squash cytomorphology of tanycytic variant. Here we present two cases of squash cytology of tanycytic ependymoma. In the first case the diagnosis of tanycytic ependymoma was considered. However, in the second case a diagnosis of usual ependymoma was offered. Subsequently histopathology confirmed tanycytic nature in both the cases. In this article we discuss the squash cytological features of tanycytic ependymoma along with its differential diagnosis. Diagn. Cytopathol. 2017;45:270-273. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
室管膜细胞型室管膜瘤是室管膜瘤的一种罕见变异类型，好发于脊髓。它是世界卫生组织（WHO）二级肿瘤，预后良好。虽然关于室管膜瘤的压片细胞学已有详尽描述，但关于室管膜细胞型变异型的压片细胞形态学的文献却很稀少。在此，我们呈现两例室管膜细胞型室管膜瘤的压片细胞学病例。第一例考虑诊断为室管膜细胞型室管膜瘤。然而，第二例诊断为普通型室管膜瘤。随后组织病理学证实两例均为室管膜细胞型。在本文中，我们讨论室管膜细胞型室管膜瘤的压片细胞学特征及其鉴别诊断。《诊断细胞病理学》2017年；45卷：270 - 273页。© 2016威利期刊公司
