“…The latter one is less frequently seen and most of them are benign lesions such as colloid cysts and choroid plexus papillomas. Although the choroid plexus is highly vascularized and theoretically is vulnerable to metastasis, a few cases have been reported (2,4,6,7,9). In those cases it is very rare for metastases to mimic a colloid cyst as in our case and to our knowledge only three cases have been previously reported.…”

“…The most common tumors that cause a cerebral and cerebellar metastasis are lung, breast and skin cancer (2,5,6). However, the frequency of the primary tumors causing a ventricle metastasis is different.…”

“…Involvement of the ventricular system is not common and it is almost always associated with multiple brain metastases when it occurs (1,3,4). Solitary metastasis to the ventricular system and especially to the third ventricle is very rare (6,7,9). The most common solitary lesions of the third ventricle are colloid cyst and choroid plexus papilloma (5).…”

Colloid cysts are the most common third ventricle lesions and metastasis to this area is rare. We presented a case of solitary metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma to the third ventricle choroid plexus mimicking a colloid cyst. A 53-year-old man, who had a history of renal cell carcinoma 12 years ago, was operated for single third ventricle lesion and hydrocephalus via a transcallosal approach. Total removal could not be performed due to intraoperative massive bleeding. Histological examination revealed a metastatic renal cell carcinoma. The patient died on the postoperative 13 th day because of bleeding from the residual tumor. Stereotactic radiosurgery and ventriculoperitoneal shunting might be favorable in such cases in order to avoid serious complications. KeywOrds: Renal cell carcinoma, Choroid plexus, Third ventricle, Metastasis, Colloid cyst ÖZÜçüncü ventrikülün en sık görülen lezyonları kolloid kistlerdir ve bu bölgeye metastazlar çok nadir gözlenir. Biz, görünümü kolloid kiste benzeyen, renal hücreli karsinomun 3. ventrikül koroid pleksusuna metastazı olan bir olguyu bildirdik. Elli üç yaşında, 12 yıl önce renal hücreli karsinom tanısı alan, erkek hasta; tek 3. ventrikül metastazı ve hidrosefali nedeni ile opere edildi. Aşırı intraoperatif kanama nedeni ile tümör tamamen çıkartılamadı. Histolojik sonuç, renal hücreli karsinom metastazı idi. Hasta rezidüel tümör içerisine ve oluşan kanama nedeniyle ameliyat sonrası 13. günde öldü. Bu tür hastalarda cerrahi girişimin yaratacağı ciddi komplikasyonları engellemek için stereotaktik radyocerrahi ve ventriküloperitoneal şant tedavisi daha uygun olabilir.

“…Only seventeen histologically conˆrmed cases have been reported (Table). [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The ages of the reported cases ranged from 45 to 78 years with a mean age of 62.8 years. All metastatic lesions were located in the lateral ventricle except for only two cases located in the fourth ventricle.…”

“…The high-density area on noncontrast CT in our case was suspected of re‰ecting calciˆcation, suggesting typical metastasis from colon cancer, which was conˆrmed histologically. Although only eight reports 7,9,[11][12][13] exist of MR images in the literature, these reports-echoing the characteristics of other tumors-reveal the tumors to be low intensity on T1-weighted images, isointensity or high intensity on T2-weighted images, and strongly and uniformly enhanced by Gd-DTPA. The CT and MRˆndings in our patient were similar to the reported cases, but we also observed two diŠerent points of punctiform enhancement on MR imaging that may re‰ect abundant tumor vessels as well as a lowintensity area on T2-weighted images that is often observed in metastatic brain tumors from adenocarcinoma, 14 especially colon cancer.…”

We discuss the current literature on this tumor together with the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and computed tomography (CT)ˆndings.
