Abstract
The plexus-papilloma was the subject of several reports in the last century. After much debate, it was considered to be a tumor entity separate from the ependymomas [2861, 127], put into the group of paragliomas [1393], and then reconsidered as a subgroup of ependymoma [1659, 1661]. It derives from the epithelium of the choroid plexus, which in turn represents the differentiation of primitive neuroepithelial elements which come into contact with the intraventricular folds of the primitive mesenchyme, from which the leptomeninges arise.
