MELO, Ernesto Lima Araújo et al. Choroid plexus mass lesions. Radiol Bras [online]. 2003, vol.36, n.6, pp. 379-384. ISSN 0100-3984.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-39842003000600010.

Choroid plexus mass lesions encompass a broad and heterogeneous group of diseases and their simulators. Tumors, infections, congenital anomalies, hemorrhage, cysts and degenerative diseases are some examples of mass lesions affecting the choroid plexus. In this article we review the current literature, describing the imaging findings and illustrating choroid plexus mass lesions with some cases diagnosed at our facility. Despite the inexistence of pathognomonic signs, a careful and systematic evaluation of the imaging characteristics may suggest many etiologies.
