A unique case of melanosis of the choroid plexus in a 74-year-old man who died of hypertensive cardiovascular disease is described. The cerebral lesion did not cause symptoms. The proposed pathogenesis is the conversion of choroidal epithelial lipofuscin into melanin. Our findings also may explain the origin of a previously reported primary malignant melanoma of the choroid plexus and of black cortical adenomas of the adrenal gland.
本文描述了一例74岁死于高血压性心血管疾病男性患者脉络丛黑色素沉着症的独特病例。脑部病变未引起症状。推测的发病机制是脉络丛上皮脂褐素转化为黑色素。我们的研究结果或许还能解释先前报道的脉络丛原发性恶性黑色素瘤及肾上腺黑色皮质腺瘤的起源。
