Ependymal astrocytoma: subependyoma or subependymal glomerate astrocytoma.
The histological study of four cases and one by electron microscopy of subependyomomas allowed us to obtain morphostructural characteristics of ependymocytes and astrocytes. Comparing these findings to those of the present day literature, we propose to name these tumours ependymal astrocytomas.
