Primary pure ependymoma: a rare entity of the ovary
Ependymomas are an uncommon glial tumors that usually arise from the central nervous system but they can occasionally occur in various extra-axial regions. Pure ovarian ependymoma, classified as differentiated glioma, was first described by Kleinman et al in 1984 and only a few cases have been repor...
