Summary
The presence of bone in choroid plexus papillomas is a rare event. The authors report a case of choroid plexus papilloma of the IVth ventricle containing bone in a 18-year-old man, and review two previously reported cases, as well as the mechanisms proposed for the presence of bone and cartilage in neuroepithelial neoplasms.
