Abstract
The authors report a case of a choroid plexus papilloma in the fourth ventricle containing melanin pigment. The pigmented granules in this tumor were positive for Fontana-Masson, periodic acid-Schiff, acid fast and Sudan staining, suggesting that the pigment contained lipofuscin as well as melanin. The possibility that the melanin derived from lipofuscin by "melanization" through pseudoperoxydation is discussed.Entities:
