A rare case of craniopharyngioma extending to the cranial base and nasopharynx is reported and eight other cases in the literature are reviewed. The embryology and the clinical features of these tumors are discussed. Tomograms of the skull and computed tomography are the most useful radiological tools of investigation. A nasoseptal or transpalatal approach to surgery, which has been performed in reported cases of cystic nasopharyngeal craniopharyngiomas, was not performed on our patient because of the hard consistency and the diffusely infiltrating aspect of the tumor.
本文报道了1例颅咽管瘤延伸至颅底和鼻咽部的罕见病例，并复习了文献中的其他8例病例。讨论了这些肿瘤的胚胎学和临床特征。颅骨断层扫描和计算机断层扫描是最有用的放射学检查工具。由于肿瘤质地硬且呈弥漫浸润性，在已报道的囊性鼻咽部颅咽管瘤病例中采用的鼻中隔或经腭入路手术，未在我们的患者中实施。
