Combined tumors showing histologic features of both ependymoma and subependymoma have been described. In this report we present a case of combined tanycytic ependymoma with foci of subependymoma (WHO grade II), occurring in a 40 year-old male, which arose in the wall of the lateral ventricle. The tanycytic ependymoma component showed elongated fibrillary cells with a fascicular pattern of growth, while the subependymoma component showed clustered cell bodies surrounded by a fibrillary stroma with a microcystic appearance.We consider the present case to be an unusual example of tanycytic ependymoma; which to the best of our knowledge has not been associated with a subependymoma.
