A benign, slow growing tumor which may cause symptoms by blocking cerebrospinal fluid pathways. It is characterized by the presence of delicate fibrovascular connective tissue fronds covered by a single layer of epithelial cells. Mitotic activity is extremely low. Surgical resection is usually curative. (Adapted from WHO)NCI ThesaurusU.S. National Cancer Institute, 2021

(papilloma, choroid plexus) 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.

Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) are benign neoplasms of the choroid plexus, a structure made from tufts of villi within the ventricular system that produces cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CPPs are commonly observed in the lateral ventricles of children, but they can be encountered in adults.WebMD, 2019

Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) ia a non-cancerous (benign) tumor of the choroid plexus, a network of blood vessels in the brain which surrounds the ventricles and produces the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid, or CSF).
