Abstract
|
|
|
|
A rare case of intracranial seeding from a craniopharyngioma is presented. A 25-year-old man underwent radical resection of a suprasellar papillary craniopharyngioma 3 months previously. There had been no clinical evidence of recurrence, however, routine follow-up MRI showed a recurrent tumor. The multilobulated metastatic craniopharyngioma was not anatomically connected to the suprasellar region, but originated from the Sylvian fissure along the former surgical route. Pathologic examination again showed papillary craniopharyngioma that had the same histological features of the previous tumor. This case signifies that direct implantation of the tumor could occur adjacent to the surgical exposure site.
