Three-dimensional reconstructive analyses revealed that the intracytoplasmic lumina found in ependymomas were actually formed by subsidence of an extracellular membrane, resembling a volcano. This finding was compatible with cytologic and electron microscopic findings. In addition, there were many tiny thorns resembling a holly leaf on the extracellular membrane, such that cilia and microvilli on the cellular membrane discontinued cell-to-cell tight junctions.
