Descriptor English: Choroid Plexus Neoplasms
Descriptor Spanish: Neoplasias del Plexo Coroideo
Descriptor neoplasias de los plexos coroideos
Entry term(s) tumores de los plexos coroideos
Scope note: Tumores benignos o malignos que se originan en los plexos coroideos de los ventrículos cerebrales. Los papilomas (ver PAPILOMA DE LOS PLEXOS COROIDEOS) y carcinomas son los subtipos histológicos más frecuentes, y tienden a diseminarse a lo largo de los espacios ventricular y subaracnoideo. Las características clínicas comprenden cefaleas, ataxia y alteraciones de la conciencia, y son consecuencia de la HIDROCEFALIA asociada.

Scope note: Benign or malignant tumors which arise from the choroid plexus of the ventricles of the brain. Papillomas (see PAPILLOMA, CHOROID PLEXUS) and carcinomas are the most common histologic subtypes, and tend to seed throughout the ventricular and subarachnoid spaces. Clinical features include headaches, ataxia and alterations of consciousness, primarily resulting from associated HYDROCEPHALUS. (From Devita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology, 5th ed, p2072; J Neurosurg 1998 Mar;88(3):521-8)
