Radiol Case Rep. 2021 Dec 15;17(3):502-504. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2021.11.039. eCollection 2022 Mar.

Abstract

Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are uncommon, benign intracranial tumors that can occur in both children and adults. In adults, CPPs are typically identified in the fourth ventricle, whereas in children, they most commonly occur in the lateral ventricle. CPPs that arise from the extraventricular system are extremely rare and difficult to diagnose. We report a case of extraventricular, atypical CPP located in the cervicothoracic spinal cord of a 2-year-old girl.
