Histological and immunocytochemical findings in a case of fetal choroid plexus papilloma.
Reported in this paper is a case of a fetus delivered in the 24th week of pregnancy whose intracranial space was found to be almost totally filled up by a choroid plexus papilloma. Co-expression of vimentin and cytokeratin 8, 18 of the epithelium was immunocytochemically observed, as had been also described in normal fetal choroid plexus.
