Background:

Choroid plexus tumors are primary neoplasms of the central nervous system, of neuroectodermal origin. In children they have a special predilection for the lateral ventricles and the third ventricle, while in adults they are more frequently located in the fourth ventricle. The location of this tumor outside the ventricular cavity is rare butit can be located in brain parenchyma, in the brainstem, in the suprasellar region or even in the spinal canal. We are showing an ectopic location of a choroid plexus papilloma in a young female patient who underwent surgery in the Neurosurgery service of the General Teaching Hospital "Roberto Rodríguez" in Morón, Ciego de Ávila, Cuba.
