Abstract : An 11-year-old intact female Maltese was referred because of 1 week history of cluster seizure episodes. Based on brain CT scan, brain tumor was strongly suspected. The patient was euthanized according to client’s requestand we performed necropsy after euthanasia. The gross findings of the postmortem coronal sections of the brain showedthat the mass was relatively well-demarcated, reddish in colored, and was present inside the left lateral ventricle andcompressed adjacent tissues. The tumor mass had 2 distinct histopathological features: perivascular pseudorosette-likestructures and a whirl-like arrangement of fibrillary cells. The immunohistochemical profile showed strong GFAPpositivity and moderate S-100 expression, sparsely dotted staining with Ki-67. Based on the histopathological andimmunohistochemical findings, the present case diagnosed to ependymoma.
