Background: This article reports a case of intraparenchymal, supratentorial, extraventricular choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC) in a pediatric patient.
-
Case Report: A 10-year-old girl presented with a 4-month history of chronic progressive headache, left hemiparesis, urine incontinence and blurry vision that deteriorated later to a complete blindness. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrated an intra-axial combined cystic and solid mass in the right frontal lobe with calcified foci. A gross total resection was performed followed by chemotherapy and Radiation therapy. The histopathological examination revealed the diagnosis of CPC. On serial MRI, a small newly developed focal enhanced recurrent lesion in the right frontal lobe, anteromedially to the previous surgical bed was identified after one year of follow-up.
-
Conclusion: This case reports the importance of early surgical management and continuous monitoring of extra-ventricular CPC by serial MRI to treat any recurrent lesion very early.
