Descriptor English: Papilloma, Choroid Plexus
Descriptor Spanish: Papiloma del Plexo Coroideo
Descriptor papiloma de los plexos coroideos
Scope note: Neoplasia generalmente benigna que se origina a partir del epitelio cuboidal de los plexos coroideos y adquiere la forma de PLEXO COROIDEO agrandado, que puede asociarse con hipersecreción de LCR. Los tumores suelen presentarse en la primera década de la vida con signos de incremento de la presión intracraneal como CEFALEAS, ATAXIA, DIPLOPIA y alteraciones del estado mental. En los niños es más frecuente en los ventrículos laterales y en los adultos tiende a localizarse en el cuarto ventrículo. Es poco frecuente la transformación maligna a carcinoma de los plexos coroideos.

Scope note: A usually benign neoplasm that arises from the cuboidal epithelium of the choroid plexus and takes the form of an enlarged CHOROID PLEXUS, which may be associated with oversecretion of CSF. The tumor usually presents in the first decade of life with signs of increased intracranial pressure including HEADACHES; ATAXIA; DIPLOPIA; and alterations of mental status. In children it is most common in the lateral ventricles and in adults it tends to arise in the fourth ventricle. Malignant transformation to choroid plexus carcinomas may rarely occur.
