    This case study details a rare malignant choroid plexus papilloma in a 13-year-old girl, presenting with brain pressure and requiring two surgical interventions. The tumor recurred six years later, highlighting the aggressive nature of this rare brain tumor.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Pediatric Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Choroid plexus papillomas are rare tumors, with malignant variants (carcinomas) being exceptionally infrequent.
    • Few documented cases exist, necessitating further clinical and pathological observations.

    Observation:

    • A 13-year-old female presented with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure.
    • Initial surgery revealed a right lateral ventricle tumor originating from the choroid plexus, followed by radiotherapy.
    • A recurrence six years later presented as a cerebellar hemisphere tumor, also surgically removed.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed malignant choroid plexus papilloma with invasion and cellular atypia.
    • The tumor exhibited high vascularization in its recurrent phase.
    • Complete resection was achieved in both instances.

    Implications:

    • This case expands the literature on malignant choroid plexus papillomas, particularly in pediatric patients.
    • Highlights the potential for late recurrence and the need for long-term surveillance.
    • Underscores the importance of thorough histological analysis for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
