Özet
Although choroid plexus carcinoma is a rare and malignant intraventricular neoplasm that is usually seen in the pediatric age group, it may also present in older individuals. Radiotherapy following radical surgery is the main treatment strategy. A 54-year-old male patient with choroid plexus carcinoma is reported. Preoperative and postoperative radiological examinations were performed. The patient underwent radiotherapy following gross total excision of the tumor but died at the end of the first year despite treatment.
