Abstract

Choroid plexus tumours represent 0.3 to 0.6% of all central nervous system tumors. The pediatric age group has a higher prevalence of malignancies originating from the choroid plexus epithelium. We reported a case of 2yr old female child who presented with projectile vomiting for the past 2 weeks to Neurosurgery. On CT scan brain showed a large heterogeneous density mass with perilesional oedema. Craniotomy and debulking of the tumors through a transylvian fissure were done. Intraoperatively, the tumor was fragile, soft, and highly vascular. On HPE, tumor was Grade III choroid plexus.
