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. Keywords : Adult, Carcinoma, Choroid plexus
