RESUMEN
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the cerebral ventricular system is secreted by a neuroepithelial tissue which is called as the choroid plexus. Tumors arising from these tissues are rare. Choroid plexus papillomas (CPPs) have been denoted as WHO grade I of the choroid plexus tumors. Among the intracranial tumors, neoplasms of the choroid plexus constitute around 0.36-0.6%. CPPs are mostly slow growing and cause symptoms due to mass effect and obstructive hydrocephalus, resulting in increased intracranial pressure. We report a case of CPP arising from the temporal horn in a 7-year-old girl presenting with progressive head enlargement since birth due to bilateral massive hydrocephalus without any obstruction, making it purely a hypersecretory hydrocephalus. A drainage procedure followed by complete tumor resection was carried out in our case and the patient showed marked relief from her symptoms.
RESUMEN
A young male aged 28 years presented with a subcutaneous nodule in the left arm. Fine needle aspiration diagnosis was benign granular cell tumor which was confirmed by histopathology. Since it is an uncommon tumor, of controversial histogenesis, it is being reported here.

Aspergillosis of central nervous system is an uncommon infection mainly occurring in immunocompromised patient. It may be present in several forms: abscess, meningitis, mycotic aneurysm, infarction and in tumoral form. Here we report a case of cerebral aspergillosis presenting as bilateral frontal lobe abscess without evidence of any underlying systemic disorder or extracranial disease.

A young Hindu male presented with painful swelling of left lower thigh for 6 months. The provisional diagnosis both clinically and radiologically was osteosarcoma. FNAC and biopsy proved the lesion to be a case of rhinosporidiosis. The present case is reported due to rare incidence of skeletal rhinosporidiosis.
