Choroid plexus papilloma with chondroma: case report.
The authors report the successful total removal of a rare intracranial tumor in the right lateral ventricle of a 15-year-old girl with epileptic seizures. Histopathological examination showed a benign tumor formed by mature cartilage and choroid plexus papilloma. From our review of the literature, a mixed tumor with these histological features has not been reported previously in this location. The diagnosis, surgical approach, etiology, and prognosis of this lesion are discussed.
