A 45-yr-old white woman with a 24-yr history of sacrococcygeal myxopapillary ependymoma developed a large metastasis of scalp and skull diagnosed as metastatic ependymoma on fine-needle aspiration, based on cytologic features, histologic pattern in cell block fragments, and a positive reaction with the glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoperoxidase study. The fine-needle study obviated the need for biopsy in this case, for which a surgical approach was considered to be inappropriate due to the extent of the process demonstrated by various imaging techniques.
一名患有骶尾部黏液乳头型室管膜瘤24年的45岁白人女性，头皮和颅骨出现了一个大的转移灶，经细针穿刺抽吸，根据细胞学特征、细胞块碎片的组织学模式以及胶质纤维酸性蛋白免疫过氧化物酶研究的阳性反应，诊断为转移性室管膜瘤。在这种情况下，细针穿刺检查避免了活检的必要性，由于各种成像技术显示的病变范围，手术方法被认为不合适。
