Abstract

Metastatic ependymoma of the gallbladder is an exceptionally rare condition that remains relatively unreported in the scientific literature. The present study described a case involving a 42‑year‑old female patient who underwent right frontal lobe surgery for ependymoma in 2017 and subsequently received adjuvant chemotherapy. The histological examination of the surgical specimen confirmed the presence of ependymoma metastasis in the gallbladder. The presentation and outcome of this patient with regard to metastatic ependymoma in the gallbladder were evaluated. During a follow‑up period of 10 months, the patient received targeted treatment following the surgery. Presently, the patient has developed lung and bone metastases. In the present report, the treatment and diagnostic approach utilized in this unique case were outlined with the aim of providing valuable insight for future clinical management and enhancing clinicians' understanding of the disease.
