A choroid plexus carcinoma (WHO grade III) is a type of choroid plexus tumor[1] that affects the choroid plexus of the brain. It is considered the worst of the three grades of chord plexus tumors, having a much poorer prognosis than choroid atypical plexus papilloma (WHO grade II) and choroid plexus papilloma (WHO grade I).[2] The disease creates lesions in the brain and increases cerebrospinal fluid volume, resulting in hydrocephalus.[3]
