Craniopharyngiomas usually arise in the suprasellar or parasellar region. The occurrence of the tumors in other locations is rare and they have to be distinguished from lesions in the suprasellar or sellar region with unusual extension. Thus far, few craniopharyngiomas of infrasellar origin have been described. We report a case in which the tumor presented as a nasopharyngeal mass and CT and magnetic resonance were used for evaluation. Review of the pertinent embryology and literature is also included.
颅咽管瘤通常起源于鞍上或鞍旁区域。肿瘤在其他部位发生的情况罕见，必须与鞍上或鞍区有异常延伸的病变相鉴别。迄今为止，很少有关于鞍下起源的颅咽管瘤的描述。我们报告一例肿瘤表现为鼻咽部肿块并采用CT和磁共振成像进行评估的病例。文中还包括对相关胚胎学及文献的回顾。
