title: [Choroid plexus carcinoma of the foramen Luschka: a case report].
abstract: Choroid plexus carcinoma(CPC) is a rare intracranial neoplasm that usually arises in the supra-tentorial region of infants. We report an adult case of CPC that arose in the foramen Luschka. A 61-year-old woman presented with a 10-year history of dysarthria. CT showed an iso- to slightly high density mass in the left foramen Luschka. The tumor appeared as a low- to iso-intensity area in T1-weighted MR images, and as an iso- to high-intensity area in T2-weighted images. The tumor showed homogeneous enhancement with the administration of contrast medium. Imaging findings were non-specific and the differential diagnosis was difficult.
