N2  - Ependymomas as primarycentral nervous system neoplasms are occasionally observed in human infantshowever; they are rare in animals. A three-year-old male goat was presentedwith clinical neurological signs. At necropsy, a 3×2×2 cm, bulging, white-grey-to red, soft mass extending into the left lateral ventricle of brain wasobserved. Microscopically, the mass with densely cellular population wasnonencapsulated, mostly containing cuboidal-columnar neoplastic cells withpseudo-rosettes formation. Mitotic figures were rare and malignancy indexeswere not observed. Neoplastic cells were immunohistochemically positive for GlialFibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), S-100, and vimentin; however, they did notexpress Cytokeratins. On the basis of the location, histologic andimmunohistochemical findings, the tumor was diagnosed as an ependymoma.
