Several histological patterns of these neoplasms are well known, but little attention has been devoted to a variant composed of giant cells. In spite of apparently “worrisome” histology, giant cell ependymoma seems to be a neoplasm with a relatively good prognosis. This report presents a case of giant cell ependymoma of the filum terminale in a 24-year-old woman and highlights the morphological diagnostic criteria for this rare tumor.  }, keywords = {Ependymoma,Filum Terminale}, url = {https://ijp.iranpath.org/article_8531.html}, eprint = {https://ijp.iranpath.org/article_8531_d677c18ea457e40b473e3eae48c17f9e.pdf} }
