Abstract

The authors report a case of an ectopic secreting choroid plexus in the oropharyngeal region of a neonate. The lesion presented as a rapidly growing tumor, containing CSF. No communication with the cranial cavity could be found. Following two surgical interventions the lesion was entirely removed and pathological examination revealed choroid plexus.
