Ependymoma is a glioma which arises from the ependymal cells lining the ventricle and the central spinal canal. It commonly occurs in the brain outside the ventricle in the supratentorium, in case of a supratentorial ependymoma. We report a case of supratentorial exophytic anaplastic ependymoma mimicking an extra-axial tumor.
