  • Title: Choroid plexus papilloma in a mature cystic teratoma of ovary: A rare case report.
    Author: Singh S, Patil BU, Gangane NM.
    Journal: Indian J Cancer; 2023; 60(2):242-244. PubMed ID: 36861717.
    Abstract:
    Mature cystic teratoma of the ovary is the most common type of germ cell tumor. It constitutes approximately 20% of all ovarian neoplasms. As a rare occurrence, however, several types of benign and malignant tumours developing secondarily in dermoid cysts have been reported. Those of central nervous origin are almost exclusively gliomas of astrocytic, ependymal or oligodendroglial lineage. Choroid plexus tumors are unusual intracranial tumors which comprised of only 0.4-0.6% of all brain tumors. These are neuroectodermal in origin and similar in structure to a normal choroid plexus in the form of multiple papillary fronds mounted on a well vascularized connective tissue stroma. The present case report highlights the presence of a choroid plexus tumor in a mature cystic teratoma of the ovary in a 27-year-old woman who came for safe confinement and cesarean section.
