The clinical and pathological features of two cases of ependymoma that originated in the broad ligament are reported. Metastases developed in both patients. The tumors had the distinctive features of ependymoma on light-microscopical examination, and the diagnosis was confirmed by ultrastructural study in one case and immunoperoxidase staining for glial fibrillary acidic protein in both cases. The tumors presented diagnostic difficulties because of their close resemblance to serous papillary carcinomas of the ovary and the absence of published reports of ependymoma occurring in the female genital tract.
报告了2例起源于阔韧带的室管膜瘤的临床和病理特征。两名患者均发生了转移。在光镜检查中，肿瘤具有室管膜瘤的独特特征，其中1例通过超微结构研究确诊，2例均通过胶质纤维酸性蛋白免疫过氧化物酶染色确诊。由于这些肿瘤与卵巢浆液性乳头状癌极为相似，且缺乏女性生殖道发生室管膜瘤的公开报道，因此诊断存在困难。
