A case of subcutaneous myxopapillary ependymoma arising in the sacrococcygeal region of a 42 year-old-woman is reported. Less than 60 cases of such tumors have so far been described in locations outside the central nervous system. Sacrococcygeal ependymomas are locally aggressive tumors that require a complete and wide surgical excision to prevent recurrences. They tend to metastasize in about 17% of cases.
