Extraspinal ependymomas are a rare type of glioma that may arise in the sacrococcygeal region, presenting as a pelvic mass in an infant or child. Ependymoma presenting in the newborn period has not been described previously. Herein we describe a case of a newborn boy who presented with a perianal ependymoma, which was subsequently found to have presacral extension. The major diagnostic challenge this case presented was to rule out the alternative diagnosis of sacrococcygeal teratoma or a developmental malformation/heterotopia.
脊柱外室管膜瘤是一种罕见的胶质瘤类型，可发生于骶尾区域，在婴儿或儿童中表现为盆腔肿块。此前尚未有关于新生儿期出现室管膜瘤的报道。在此，我们描述一例新生儿男婴，其患有肛周室管膜瘤，随后发现肿瘤已向骶前延伸。该病例面临的主要诊断挑战是排除骶尾畸胎瘤或发育畸形/异位的其他诊断。
