The aim was to present a rare case of recurrent craniopharyngioma remote from the primary site of origin. A young girl was operated for sellar region craniopharyngioma. For a small residual tumor, she underwent radiotherapy. Follow-up imaging did not reveal any residual tumor or recurrence. Surveillance magnetic resonance imaging after 5 years revealed a recurrence in the right Sylvian fissure. This tumor was totally excised. Recurrence of craniopharyngioma is well-known, but recurrence at a site remote from the original site after radiotherapy is extremely rare. One such case is being presented.
目的是介绍一例罕见的远离原发部位复发的颅咽管瘤病例。一名年轻女孩因鞍区颅咽管瘤接受了手术。对于残留的小肿瘤，她接受了放射治疗。随访影像学检查未发现任何残留肿瘤或复发。5年后的监测磁共振成像显示右侧外侧裂出现复发。该肿瘤被完全切除。颅咽管瘤复发是众所周知的，但放疗后在远离原发部位的地方复发极为罕见。现报告这样一例病例。
