In this case report, we describe dysphonia as an uncommon presentation of a rare posterior fossa tumor. To our knowledge, a case of choroid plexus papilloma presenting with dysphonia has not been described before. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Rhinorrhea

  Postoperative course was uneventful, just after the operation rhinorrhea ceased completely, and hearing of the right ear dramatically improved. Choroid plexus papillomas rarely cause cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Progressive Hearing Loss

  Case 2 : A 32 year old female was admitted in December 1995 with history of progressive hearing loss in the right ear for 7 months. [neurologyindia.com]

• Progressive Loss of Vision

  Six months later, he came to us with progressive loss of vision due to raised intracranial pressure. The lesion may not be detected on CT scans and MRI scan is the imaging modality of choice. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Characteristics include red or dark patches on the skin; burning, itching, swelling, hardening, and tightening of the skin; yellow spots on the whites of the eyes; joint stiffness with trouble moving or straightening the arms, hands, legs, or feet; pain [emedicine.com]

• Facial Numbness

  Three years later, her right cerebellar signs reappeared and facial numbness intensified, headache and difficulty in swallowing also became worse. [neurologyindia.com]

• Episodic Headache

  History of severe episodic headache, diplopia and progressive diminution of vision for one and a half months was also reported. [neurologyindia.com]

  The patient's facial pain gradually resolved. Involvement of the trigeminal nucleus in the brainstem by the cerebellopontine angle tumour is suggested as the possible cause for trigeminal neuralgia in this case. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Headache

  A 51-year-old female presented with a rare case of choroid plexus papilloma originating in the sella turcica manifesting as headaches that was not readily distinguishable preoperatively from pituitary adenoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Most common signs/symptoms are of raised ICT, Macrocrania, bulging fontanelle, vomiting, headache, ataxia. [neuroradiologycases.com]

After doing the workup for primary, he underwent sub-occipital craniotomy, and gross total excision. The tumor was greyish, soft, suckable, and very vascular; gross total excision was done. [ruralneuropractice.com]

Clinical presentationThe patient is a 37 year old woman referred from anoutside hospital for workup of an intracranial mass. 3. [de.slideshare.net]

This workup often necessitates a battery of immunohistochemical studies. Transthyretin and/or S100 expression is supportive evidence for a choroid plexus neoplasm, although, unfortunately these stains are not 100% reliable. [r-radiology.com]

• Blood Culture Positive

  Her laboratory results were significant for an absolute neutrophil count of 0/µL and blood cultures positive for Capnocytophagia species. She was supported with broad spectrum antibiotics and myeloid growth factors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Lymphocytic Infiltrate

  The sub epithelial cord substance of the papillae appears focally odematous with congested blood vessels and sparse lymphocytic infiltrates. There is no evidence of cytological anaplasia. Histopathological diagnosis : Choroid Plexus Papilloma. [neuroradiologycases.com]

Total surgical resection is the treatment of choice for choroid plexus tumors. However, the hypervascular nature of such lesions imposes challenges to the surgical treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Treatment planning included placement of a ventriculoperitoneal shunt to treat hydrocephalus and to allow the child to grow prior to resection. [inovaideas.org]

An atypical CPP is more likely to come back after treatment. If CPP does come back, you may need chemotherapy or radiation therapy to treat it. You will need to work with your medical team to decide on the best treatment plan for you. [cedars-sinai.edu]

This case highlights the available treatment and good prognosis that is possible with Choroid plexus papilloma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Complete resection of this malignant tumor is the primary goal of treatment since it allows best chance of survival and improves the overall prognosis [1] [4] [5]. [file.scirp.org]

One theory of the etiology involves the presence of simian vacuolating virus No. 40 (SV40)–related viral DNA. Pathology: They may arise wherever a choroid plexus exists. Tumoral distribution varies between pediatric and adult patients. [thamburaj.com]

Etiology CPPs arise from the single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells lining the papillae of the choroid plexus. [emedicine.medscape.com]

There is no significant sex predilection. [1] Etiology Although the vast majority of choroid plexus tumors are sporadic, hereditary factors appear to play a role in the development of some choroid plexus papillomas and carcinomas. [r-radiology.com]

Epidemiology Frequency CPPs are rare, comprising less than 1% of brain tumors in patients of all ages. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology Choroid plexus papilloma accounts for less than 1% of all brain tumors, and about 2-4% of those that occur in children. 10-20% of all choroid plexus papillomas aise in the first year of life. The average incidence is 0.3 per 1,000,000. [prod.wiki.cns.org]

The relatively small number of CPC cases in the literature, coupled with the lack of relevant epidemiological data and controversies about their clinical and pathological diagnosis makes it difficult to establish a standardized therapeutic approach in [journals.plos.org]

TWIST-1 is involved in the p53 tumor suppressor pathway as an inhibitor. [19] Pathophysiology Symptoms from choroid plexus tumors generally result from secretion of CSF by tumor cells, leading to an increased amount of fluid and, eventually, to hydrocephalus [emedicine.medscape.com]

We recommend precise evaluation of intracranial cystic lesions to prevent wrong diagnosis and operation. Total resection of all enhancing nodules in cystic choroid plexus papilloma is proposed to warrant total cure of tumor. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Radiation therapy : This process destroys cancer cells and prevents others from growing. [aurorahealthcare.org]

In this particular case, two lines of chemotherapy had failed, and poor marrow reserve secondary to craniospinal radiotherapy in an adult patient (36 Gy of craniospinal irradiation and 54 Gy to the cranium) prevented further delivery of cytotoxics. [pagepress.org]

Chemotherapy contributes to long-term survival, but it can not prevent recurrence [ 8 ]. Bleggi-Torres et al. reported 15 cases of CPC and the oldest patient of his series is 22 years old [ 9 ]. [panafrican-med-journal.com]
