ABSTRACT

Tumours derived from choroid plexus are rare central nervous system neoplasms affecting mainly children. This study presents a series of 38 patients with neuroectodermal tumours. Twenty four of them had the histological and/or immunohistochemical diagnosis of choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC). Sixteen of these patients were male. The left lateral ventricle was affected in most cases. Main clinical features were: hydrocephalus, intracranial hypertension and convulsion. All the patients were treated by surgery. There were 2 deaths due to surgical complications. Nine patients had recurrence, dying in a intermediate time of 12.3 months and 7 patients remain alive. The other cases did not present available data. CPC is very prevalent in Curitiba when compared to other choroid plexus tumours and it might be related to some pathogenic agent.

ABSTRACT

Tumores derivados do plexo coróide são neoplasias raras do sistema nervoso central que acometem principalmente crianças. Este estudo apresenta uma série de 38 pacientes com tumores de origem neuroectodérmica, dentre os quais 24 possuem diagnóstico histológico e/ou imunoistoquímico de Carcinoma do Plexo Coróide (CPC). Destes, 16 eram do gênero masculino. O local predominantemente acometido foi o ventrículo lateral esquerdo. As manifestações clínicas mais freqüentes foram hidrocefalia, hipertensão intracraniana e crises convulsivas. Todos os pacientes foram submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico. Houve um óbito no per-operatório e outro no pós-operatório imediato. Nove pacientes tiveram recidiva, evoluindo a óbito em tempo médio de 12,3 meses. Sete estão vivos. Os demais casos não apresentavam dados disponíveis. Em Curitiba, o CPC tem uma alta prevalência em relação a outros tumores do plexo coróide, podendo estar relacionado a algum agente patogênico.
