Subependymoma of brain – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/737144375

A benign, slow growing neoplasm which is typically attached to a ventricular wall. It is composed of glial tumour cell clusters embedded in an abundant fibrillary matrix with frequent microcystic change. Some lesions have the histological features of both subependymoma and ependymoma. It is often detected incidentally and has a very favorable prognosis.
