Abstract
Atypical choroid plexus papilloma is classified as WHO (World Health Organization) Grade II subtype of choroid plexus tumor, and it has intermediate pathological features, prognosis, and clinical outcome rates between choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma. These tumors are more common in children compared with adults and are usually located in the lateral ventricles. We present a case of an adult with atypical choroid plexus papilloma located in the infratentorial region. A 41?year?old woman underwent evaluation for headache and dull aching neck pain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a well?defined intraventricular mass lesion in the fourth ventricle and foramen of Luschka. She underwent craniotomy and gross total excision of the lesion. Histopathological and immunohistochemical findings confirmed the diagnosis of atypical choroid plexus papilloma (WHO Grade II). We discuss the various treatment options for this condition and review the relevant literature.
