    Author: Okada T, Fujitsu K, Miyahara K, Ichikawa T, Takemoto Y, Niino H, Yagishita S, Shiina T.
    Journal: Acta Neurochir (Wien); 2010 Feb; 152(2):303-6; discussion 307. PubMed ID: 19626269.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: Craniopharyngioma has two subtypes: adamantinomatous and squamous-papillary. Squamous-papillary craniopharyngioma may develop from remnants of the craniopharyngeal duct, anterior pituitary cells with squamous metaplasia, suprasellar epidermoid cyst, or Rathke cleft cyst. AIM: While ciliated craniopharyngioma is considered to represent a transitional stage between Rathke cleft cyst and squamous-papillary craniopharyngioma, ciliated craniopharyngioma following Rathke cleft cyst at the same site has not previously been described. RESULTS: We report a case of ciliated craniopharyngioma developing from Rathke cleft cyst. CONCLUSION: The clinical course for this case is discussed together with a review of the pathological literature for ciliated craniopharyngioma.
