Scope note: Neoplasia benigna de la región hipofisaria que se origina a partir de la bolsa de Rathke. Los dos subtipos principales, histológicos y clínicos, son el craneofaringioma adamantino (o clásico) y el craneofaringioma papilar. La forma adamantina se presenta en niños y adolescentes como una formación quística que se expande en la región hipofisaria. La cavidad quística se llena con una sustancia negra y viscosa e histológicamente el tumor está compuesto por epitelio adamantinomatoso y áreas de calcificación y necrosis. Los craneofaringiomas papilares se presentan en adultos, y su característica histológica es la de un epitelio escamoso con papilas. (Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch. 14, p. 50)

Scope note: A benign pituitary-region neoplasm that originates from Rathke's pouch. The two major histologic and clinical subtypes are adamantinous (or classical) craniopharyngioma and papillary craniopharyngioma. The adamantinous form presents in children and adolescents as an expanding cystic lesion in the pituitary region. The cystic cavity is filled with a black viscous substance and histologically the tumor is composed of adamantinomatous epithelium and areas of calcification and necrosis. Papillary craniopharyngiomas occur in adults, and histologically feature a squamous epithelium with papillations. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch14, p50)
