| A craniopharyngioma is seen here at medium and high power. It is derived from remnants of Rathke's pouch and forms an expanding mass arising in the sella turcica that erodes bone and infiltrates into surrounding structures. They are difficult to eradicate, even though they are composed of histologically appearing squamoid and columnar epithelium lining cystic spaces filled with oily fluid. |
