Imaging yielded a differential diagnosis of embryonal tumor, ependymoma, and hemorrhagic choroid plexus papilloma. Histomorphology shows acute hemorrhage and hemosiderin-stained choroid plexus with a rounded, hobnail-shaped epithelial surface. The rounded surface distinguishes this normal choroid plexus from the epithelium of a choroid plexus papilloma, which has a flat surface.
I discuss issues pertaining to the practice of neuropathology -- including nervous system tumors, neuroanatomy, neurodegenerative disease, muscle and nerve disorders, ophthalmologic pathology, neuro trivia, neuropathology gossip, job listings and anything else that might be of interest to a blue-collar neuropathologist.
