Aggressive choroid plexus papilloma. 1984

J I Ausman, and C Shrontz, and J Chason, and R S Knighton, and H Pak, and S Patel

A young woman, who was initially treated for an Arnold-Chiari malformation, was found 7 years later to have a posterior third ventricular tumor. A superior cerebellar approach allowed total resection of the mass, which was an aggressive choroid plexus papilloma. The patient was treated with whole cerebrospinal axis radiation. There is no clinical or computed tomographic evidence of recurrence after 4 years. The literature is reviewed and a discussion of aggressive choroid plexus papilloma (carcinoma) is presented.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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.

D002831 Choroid Plexus A villous structure of tangled masses of BLOOD VESSELS contained within the third, lateral, and fourth ventricles of the BRAIN. It regulates part of the production and composition of CEREBROSPINAL FLUID. Chorioid Plexus,Plexus Choroideus,Choroideus, Plexus,Plexus, Chorioid,Plexus, Choroid
D004806 Ependymoma Glioma derived from EPENDYMOGLIAL CELLS that tend to present as malignant intracranial tumors in children and as benign intraspinal neoplasms in adults. It may arise from any level of the ventricular system or central canal of the spinal cord. Intracranial ependymomas most frequently originate in the FOURTH VENTRICLE and histologically are densely cellular tumors which may contain ependymal tubules and perivascular pseudorosettes. Spinal ependymomas are usually benign papillary or myxopapillary tumors.
