Abstract:
Choroid plexus tumors (CPT) include choroid plexus papilloma (CPP), atypical choroid plexus papilloma (aCPP), and choroid plexus carcinoma (CPC). Because of their rarity, limited data are available on the current status of treatment and outcomes for pediatric CPTs. METHOD We retrospectively reviewed clinical information on patients with CPT patients aged between 0 and 30 years at diagnosis and were treated in 8 institutions in Japan. RESULTS Of forty-two cases initially diagnosed as CPT, 18 cases were reviewed by central pathologists. As a result, the diagnosis of CPC or aCPP in five cases were changed to other tumors including AT/RT and astroblastoma. The remaining 37 cases were subjected to analysis. Median age at diagnosis was two years (0 to 25) and the mean follow-up period was seven years. All 26 patients with CPP (n=20) or aCPP (n=6) underwent gross-total resection without adjuvant therapy. Of them 24 patients are alive without recurrence. Four patients of patients with CPC (n=11) died of cancer. Five patients including three patients experienced local relapse, achieved complete remission after resection of tumor plus chemoradiotherapy. All three patients with dissemination of CPC at diagnosis or relapse died of the disease. At least three patients were diagnosed with Li-Fraumeni syndrome: one died of medulloblastoma and one patient developed osteosarcoma. CONCLUSION Compared with the excellent prognosis of CPP, the survival rates for CPC, especially disseminated CPC are unsatisfactory. Our results also underline the importance of considering genetic testing of TP53 for patients with CPC.
