Abstract:
:This is a report of a prenatal sonographic diagnosis of a lateral ventricle choroid plexus papilloma in an in vitro fertilization (IVF)-induced pregnancy of a 40-year-old woman. The baby was delivered at 35 weeks of gestation and surgery was performed 5 days later with a good outcome. Several cases of malignancies associated with IVF are reported in the literature. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of a prenatal diagnosis of choroid plexus papilloma in an IVF-induced pregnancy. The authors also review other cases of choroid plexus papilloma diagnosed prenatally by ultrasound. The theoretical association between IVF and neoplasia is also considered.
