- Ependymoma can not be differentiated from other brain tumors clinically, biopsy is required for definitive diagnosis.
- Differential diagnoses of ependymoma include other intracranial tumors, such as:
- Medulloblastoma
- Choroid plexus papilloma
- Choroid plexus metastasis
- Glioblastoma
- Central neurocytoma
