title: Myxopapillary ependymoma of lumbosacral region with metastasis to both cerebellopontine angles: report of a rare case.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Myxopapillary ependymomas are low grade tumours that are known to recur locally even after complete excision, but metastasis to distant sites is extremely uncommon.
  
  
  METHODS
  We report an unusual case of lumbo-sacral myxopapillary ependymoma in a 13-year-old boy with metastasis to both cerebellopontine angles. To the best of our knowledge, this is the youngest patient of metastatic myxopapillary ependymoma.
