Abstract

Rathke's cleft cyst (RCC) are benign, epithelium-lined sellar and suprasellar cysts believed to originate from remnants of the Rathke pouch. Here, we report a rare case of entirely suprasellar RCC in a 4.5-year-old child causing hypopituitarism, who presented to us with bilateral cryptorchidism. Subsequently we discuss the distinct rarity of entirely suprasellar RCC presenting in this fashion and the relevant literature is also discussed.

摘要

拉克氏裂囊肿（RCC）是一种良性的、内衬上皮的鞍内和鞍上囊肿，被认为起源于拉克氏囊的残余部分。在此，我们报告一例罕见的4.5岁儿童完全位于鞍上的RCC病例，该病例导致垂体功能减退，患儿因双侧隐睾前来就诊。随后，我们讨论了以这种方式出现的完全位于鞍上的RCC的独特罕见性，并对相关文献也进行了讨论。
