The numerous pathology reports on craniopharyngioma describe the classical features of squamous epithelium and keratin. Relatively little attention has been paid to its stroma and the surrounding tissue. We focused our observation on these two areas in a retrospective study of craniopharyngiomas in 36 operative cases and 5 autopsy cases. The tumor interdigitated with the brain and pituitary gland. At the interface, the brain was markedly gliotic with Rosenthal fibers simulating pilocytic astrocytoma. The tumor stroma had reactive changes and commonly showed cyst formation and calcification.
众多关于颅咽管瘤的病理报告描述了鳞状上皮和角质的典型特征。相对而言，对其基质和周围组织的关注较少。在一项对36例手术病例和5例尸检病例的颅咽管瘤回顾性研究中，我们将观察重点集中在这两个区域。肿瘤与脑和垂体相互交错。在界面处，脑明显胶质化，有罗森塔尔纤维，类似毛细胞型星形细胞瘤。肿瘤基质有反应性改变，常见囊肿形成和钙化。
