Overview
Craniopharyngioma must be differentiated from other pituitary masses such as sarcoid, pituitary adenoma, aneurysm, teratoma, tuberculosis, rathke cleft cyst, chordoma, hypothalamic glioma, hamartoma of tuber cinereum, histiocytosis, meningioma and optic nerve glioma.
Differentiating Craniopharyngioma from other Diseases
Craniopharyngioma is a mass in the pituitary region. The common pituitary masses that can be confused with craniopharyngioma are following.[1]
