Disseminated choroid plexus papilloma. An ultrastructural study.

W L Wolfson, W J Brown

    Archives of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine
    |July 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Choroid plexus papilloma, a rare brain tumor, can spread through the nervous system. Metastatic tumors closely resemble normal choroid plexus tissue, lacking unique ultrastructural markers.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuro-oncology
    • Pathology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) is a rare primary intracranial tumor arising from the choroid plexus epithelium.
    • While typically benign, CPP can exhibit malignant behavior, including leptomeningeal dissemination along the neuraxis.

    Observation:

    • This study examined the ultrastructure of a metastatic choroid plexus papilloma.
    • The fine structure of the disseminated tumor was compared to that of normal choroid plexus.

    Findings:

    • Metastatic choroid plexus papilloma shares significant ultrastructural similarities with normal choroid plexus.
    • The primary distinguishing feature identified was the absence of fenestrated capillaries in the metastatic neoplasm.
    • No unique ultrastructural markers specific to disseminating choroid plexus papilloma were identified.

    Implications:

    • The findings suggest that metastatic CPP may be difficult to distinguish from normal choroid plexus based solely on ultrastructure.
    • Understanding these similarities is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in cases of suspected tumor spread.
    • Further research may focus on identifying molecular or genetic markers for disseminating choroid plexus papilloma.
