| Popis: | Peritoneal Carcinomatosis of anaplastic ependymoma is not a previously reported entity. The authors report on a child with multiple successfully treated brain and spine disease occurrences who subsequently develops carcinomatosis of the abdomen and no evidence of CNS recurrence. Ependymoma accounts for up to 10% of childhood CNS tumors diagnosed in the United States with a median age of 51–71 months. Typical locations are based on age. Disease is typically treated with surgical resection followed by radiation. The role of chemotherapy has not been proven but currently being examined with open clinical trials. We will describe patient’s presentations, clinical treatment and recurrence with subsequent treatment and outcome at time of meeting. |
