“…Although both the glioblastoma cases as well as our case may be true metastases, it appears more plausible that there was tumor extension through surgical lines or intraoperative tumor seeding. Of 30 cases of extracranial glioblastoma reported [7,[19][20][21][22][23][24], eight metastasized to scalp or skin. Several of these prior publications concluded that skin metastasis may be related to the invasive surgery since tumor cells can then penetrate the scalp and gain access to the blood or lymphatic system.…”

We report a case of anaplastic ependymoma with extracranial metastases in a 22-year-old female. The patient originally presented with headaches and dysarthria. Neuroimaging revealed a large solid and cystic right fronto-temporal lesion. It was located completely extraventricularly and a glioblastoma was suspected based on the neuroimaging findings. A gross total resection was achieved. Histopathologic examination revealed an anaplastic ependymoma. The patient was treated with radiotherapy. Approximately 1 year after the initial surgery, the patient presented with metastatic disease to the scalp. At 2 years, an intraparotid metastasis was detected. Subsequent neck dissection revealed positive lymph nodes at several levels. It was followed by radiotherapy to the neck. 5 years after the initial surgery, the patient has residual metastatic disease. The case is discussed and the literature on extraventricular ependymal neoplasms is reviewed.

“…High-grade tumors such as glioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and some forms of ependymoma are well known for their ability to metastasize to remote locations. 3,9,23 There are reports of high-grade gliomas spreading to remote cutaneous sites, 11,22 or seeding stereotactic biopsy tracts. 2,8,24,29 The presumed mechanism in these instances involves direct spreading of tumor cells during surgery.…”

The authors report the case of a 15-year-old girl with a third ventricle colloid cyst. She presented with prolonged headache, nausea, vomiting, and loss of visual acuity with bilateral papilledema. Computed tomography and MRI revealed severe biventricular hydrocephalus with transependymal periventricular fluid and a minimally enhancing cystic mass of the third ventricle. The patient was diagnosed with a colloid cyst and obstructive hydrocephalus, and endoscopic resection with ablation of the cyst remnant was performed. While attempting to extricate the cyst from the patient's head, control of the cyst was lost and the cyst fell into the lateral ventricle beyond the surgeon's view. Postoperative imaging showed that the cyst had settled in the right occipital horn. After 3 years of follow-up, imaging suggests growth of the cyst in its new position without necrosis or displacement on prone imaging.

“…Под экстра-краниальным метастазом принято понимать по-вторное возникновение очага ГБ вне головного моз-га, например образование опухоли в печени, легких, коже, костях и др. органах [12]. Экстракраниальный метастаз ГБ может сопровождаться прорастанием твердой мозговой оболочки, особенно в областях прилегания к естественным отверстиям черепа и си-нусам [11,13].…”
