Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are relatively uncommon tumors of the central nervous system, constituting approximately 5% of all pediatric brain tumors. Although squash cytology of CPT has been described in literature, shedding of tumor cells into cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has rarely been described. We report two such cases of atypical choroid plexus papilloma in a 5-month-old male child and a 12-year-old female child, where characteristic cytomorphology of CPT was noted in the CSF.
脉络丛肿瘤（CPTs）是中枢神经系统相对罕见的肿瘤，约占所有小儿脑肿瘤的5%。尽管文献中已描述了CPT的涂片细胞学检查，但肿瘤细胞脱落至脑脊液（CSF）中的情况却鲜有报道。我们报告了两例这样的非典型脉络丛乳头状瘤病例，分别为一名5个月大的男童和一名12岁的女童，在其脑脊液中发现了CPT的特征性细胞形态。
