ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

A case of primary malignant ovarian ependymoma is described. The course of the tumor disease was extremely prolonged with a 50 year history. The diagnosis is supported by immunohistochemical and ultrastructural evidence of ependymal differentiation. The histogenesis and the origin from a possible preexisting ovarian teratoma are discussed.
