Abstract
- A multicystic intraventricular tumour of the right ventricular atrium was incidentally diagnosed on follow-up imaging of a 61-year-old man with a history of prostatic adenocarcinoma. Surgical resection of the lesion was performed after a one-year radio-clinical follow-up due to progressive expansion of the lesion size and a rising prostate specific antigen blood-level. Morphological features with papillary pattern on pathological examination were compatible with malignant adenocarcinoma or choroid plexus carcinoma. The immunoprofile was conclusive for an exceptional choroid plexus metastasis (CPM) of a prostatic adenocarcinoma. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a proven prostatic origin of a CPM.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
