Özet

Choroid plexus carcinoma is a rare neoplasm and occurs more frequently in children than in adults. Most of these neoplasms in adults arise in the fourth ventricle. A 22-year-old male with choroid plexus carcinoma presenting in the lateral ventricle is reported. The patient was treated by radiotherapy after surgical removal of the tumour. Modern management possibilities and its limitations are discussed. © 1994.
