Abstract
Tumors that primarily or exclusively involve the ventricular system constitute a rare and heterogeneous group. Certain histologic tumor types predominantly occur in children, whereas others are more common in adults. Tumor location provides additional clues to correct diagnosis. When used in conjunction with clinical and radiologic data, histopathologic features can distinguish among this wide range of possibilities to provide the correct diagnosis for optimal patient management.
