## Abstract Karyotypic data on choroid plexus papillomas are scarce and, to date, have revealed no consistent aberrations. We karyotyped a choroid plexus papilloma which was characterized by a stemline of 52,XX, + 7, + 11, + 12, + 12, + 15, + 18. Additional copies of chromosomes 16, 17, and 20 were
