Abstract

Choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC) is an uncommon tumor that accounts for less than 1% of all pediatric brain tumors. CPC usually originates in the lateral ventricle, followed by the fourth ventricle; the incidence in the third ventricle is only 5% of all CPC cases (children and adults). We report an extremely rare tumor arising from the choroid plexus of the third ventricle in a 6-year-old child with progressive headache, macrocephaly, left hemiparesis, and sunset eyes. The imaging found a well-defined, lobulated mass with strong enhancement in the posterior part of the third ventricle, resulting in obstructive hydrocephalus. The patient underwent an endoscopic biopsy and histopathological examination, which resulted in choroid plexus carcinoma.
