Choroid Plexus Metastasis From Carcinoma of the Bladder: A Case Report
Department of Neurosurgery, School of Medicine, Çukurova University, Adana, Turkey
Metastatic tumours in the choroid plexus are generally considered to be very
rare. We report a case of bladder carcinoma metastasizing to the choroid plexus
of the trigone of the lateral ventricle. This tumour was shown by computed
tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, followed by
stereotactic biopsy and histological confirmation. Systemic investigation
revealed bladder carcinoma. The differential diagnosis for intraventricular
masses should include metastasis.
