Choroid plexus papilloma. Light and electron microscopic study. 1983

N Nakashima, and K Goto, and K Tsukidate, and M Sobue, and M Toida, and J Takeuchi

Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) was observed by light and electron microscopy, using surgically excised tissues in 7 cases and cultivated cells. CPP cells had numerous microvillous processes showing balloon-like features, lysosomes containing haemosiderin, and highly electron-dense irregular granules about 150-300 nm in diameter. Interstitial cells with highly electron-dense cytoplasm inserted their long and thin processes into the invagination of basal plasmalemma of CPP cells, occasionally breaking down the basal lamina. Many of them were located in the intercellular space among CPP cells, sometimes adhering to the ventricular surface of CPP cells. Ruthenium red stain was positive on the surface of CPP cells and was especially intense on the surface of microvilli and cilia. In culture, CPP cells and interstitial cells migrating from the CPP cell mass showed a phagocytic activity after treatment with Latex.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
D008297 Male Males
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy

D002551 Cerebral Ventricle Neoplasms Neoplasms located in the brain ventricles, including the two lateral, the third, and the fourth ventricle. Ventricular tumors may be primary (e.g., CHOROID PLEXUS NEOPLASMS and GLIOMA, SUBEPENDYMAL), metastasize from distant organs, or occur as extensions of locally invasive tumors from adjacent brain structures.
