Coexistence of adamantinomatous and squamous-papillary type craniopharyngioma: case report and discussion of etiology and pathology
Abstract
Craniopharyngiomas are histopathologically classified as adamantinomatous type (AD) and squamous-papillary type (SP). However coexistence of a mixed type seen on histopathologic specimens has not been reported. In this report, a patient diagnosed with mixed type craniopharyngioma is presented and the etiology and pathologic features are discussed.
