Abstract
A human case is described in which a metastatic ependymoma of the cauda equina recurred after prolonged remission. Similarities to 5 previously reported cases are discussed, with emphasis on the mode of metastasis. Factors most closely associated with distant metastases include early onset, numerous local operations, long survival and massive local recurrence at the time of distant metastases.This publication has 12 references indexed in Scilit:
