Choroid plexus papilloma, abbreviated CPP, is a benign neuropathology arising in the ventricles of the brain.

General

Features: [1]

  • Low grade
    • WHO grade I (ICD-O: 9390/1).
    • WHO grade II - atypical choroid plexus papilloma (ICD-O: 9390/1).
  • Less than 1% of all brain tumours.
    • Approximately 10-20% of all tumours in the first year of life.
    • Congenital tumours reported.
  • Usually laternal ventricle in children.[2]

Gross

Features: [1]

  • Adhere to ventricular walls.
  • Circumscribed.
  • Villous architecture.
  • 50% lateral ventricles.
  • 5% third ventricle.
  • 40% fourth ventricle.
  • 5% multiple tumours or cerebellopontine angle.

Microscopic

Features: [3]

  • Simple epithelium.
  • Papillae.
  • Psammoma bodies.
  • Rarely oncocytic changes, mucinous degeneration.
  • Necrosis and brain invasion is uncommon.
