Choroid plexus carcinoma is an uncommon neuropathology tumour and the malignant counter part of choroid plexus papilloma.
General
- Usually pediatric population.
- Malignant counterpart of choroid plexus papilloma.[1]
- Poor prognosis - WHO grade III.[2]
- Classically posterior fossa.
- Intraventricular mass.
Microscopic
Features:[1]
- Choroid plexus epithelium with nuclear pleomorphism & high NC ratio.
- Mitoses.
- Necrosis.
- +/-Brain invasion.
DDx:
- Choroid plexus papilloma.
- Atypical plexus papilloma - has features intermediate between choroid plexus papilloma and choroid plexus carcinoma.[2]
- Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumour.

Features:[2]
- Cytokeratins +ve.
- EMA usu. -ve.
- GFAP -ve (~20% +ve).
- Ki-67 high.
- Useful to diff. from benign counterpart.
- INI1 +ve.
