Primary choroid plexus carcinoma in an infant. Report of a case evaluated by MRI.
Primary carcinoma of the choroid plexus is a very rare neoplasm. We report a 17-month old female patient who was evaluated by MRI. The tumor was gross totally removed and radiotherapy was given subsequently. CT and MR correlation and histopathological differential diagnosis criteria of such tumors are discussed with an emphasis on total tumor removal. New chemotherapy regimens are needed for better survival especially in cases of recurrences.
