Occasional autoptic finding of Choroid Plexus Papilloma in the cerebellopontine angle in infant: a case report and brief review

Choroid Plexus Papilloma (CPP) is a rare benign tumor of neuroectodermal origin that occurs more commonly in infants who suffer from genetic syndromes. Although the most frequent site in children is the lateral ventricle, we describe the autopsy case of a premature infant with occasional findings of CPP in the cerebellopontine angle. The infant was affected by notable dysmorphic features, including microcephaly and retro-micrognathia, as well as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, coloboma, generalized hypotonia, digestive disorders, and a microdeletion in the 2p21p16.2 region. No other autopsy cases of neonates with choroid plexus papilloma have been reported in literature.
