Definition
A circumscribed ependymoma that arises in the posterior fossa with characteristic DNA methylation patterns including retention of nuclear H3 p.K28me3 (K27me3) expression, absence of CpG island hypermethylation, absence of global DNA hypomethylation, and absence of EZHIP overexpression. Widespread cytogenetic abnormalities are present. Frequent chromosomal aberrations include loss of 22q, monosomy 6, and trisomy 18. It occurs in children older than five years and adults and has a relatively good prognosis.

CancerIndex is a research and information platform. It does not diagnose and does not recommend treatment.
Key figures
Each figure carries its unit, period and source; ranks link to "Why this rank?".
No registry-level ancestor: burden figures are published for the mutually exclusive top-level site groups only, and this entity does not descend from one. Global figures (IARC / GLOBOCAN) stay under license review and SEER awaits credentials.
