Abstract

Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare intraventricular tumors, accounting 2–5% of brain tumors in children. Choroid plexus papilloma (CPP) classified by the World Health Organization (WHO) on the basis of histological criteria as benign tumor (WHO grade I), CPPs accounts for 10–20% of brain tumors during the first year of life, the median age of patients with CPP at the time of diagnosis – 3.5 years. Atypical choroid plexus papilloma (APP) is an intermediate (WHO grade II) tumor which was officially included in the WHO classification in 2007. Median age 0,63 years. In this work, for the first time in the Russian literature, we present the outcomes of CPP and APP therapy in a large cohort of patients. The study was approved by the Independent Ethics Committee and the Scientific Council of the D. Rogachev NMRCPHOI. In our study from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2019, 83 CPP and 37 APP were histologically verified. For all patients, surgical removal of the tumor was the first stage of treatment. In 79 (95.2%) patients with CPP and in 32 (86.5%) children with APP, radical resection was performed at the first stage. In 73.5% of children with CPP and 62.2% of children with APP there was no intra- and postoperative complications. In both CPP and APP, the 5-year EFS in patients with complete resection was statistically significantly higher compared to subtotal tumor resection (100% and 33 ± 27% in CPP, 94 ± 4% and 25 ± 22% for APP) (p < 0.001). Chemoradiation therapy was given to 1 patient with CPP, 4 patients with APP with tumor recurrence/progression.
