Ependymoma of the spinal nerve root: case report.
Ependymomas are the most common intramedullary tumor of the spinal cord. They are most common at the region of the cauda equina, accounting for up to 90% of primary tumors in that area. Extraspinal ependymomas are rare. We describe a case of an ependymoma arising in a spinal peripheral nerve root.
