“…Accordingly, ectopic craniopharyngioma often presents with invasive characteristics. 2,9 The tumor we describe was a partially intra-axial tumor with invasion of the brainstem and cerebellum. These hypotheses need to be further explored.…”

“…Our searches yielded 274 studies [275][276][277][279][280][281][282] reporting data for 8058 nonduplicated patients with craniophayngiomas, the majority of whom were presented in aggregated data sets. Disaggregated data useable for survival and progression analysis was presented for 800 patients.…”

Object Craniopharyngiomas have a propensity to recur after resection, potentially causing death through their aggressive local behavior in their critical site of origin. Recent data suggest that subtotal resection (STR) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy (XRT) may be an appealing substitute for gross-total resection (GTR), providing similar rates of tumor control without the morbidity associated with aggressive resection. Here, the authors summarize the published literature regarding rates of tumor control with various treatment modalities for craniopharyngiomas. Methods The authors performed a comprehensive search of the English language literature to identify studies publishing outcome data on patients undergoing surgery for craniopharyngioma. Rates of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were determined through Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results There were 442 patients who underwent tumor resection. Among these patients, GTR was achieved in 256 cases (58%), STR in 101 cases (23%), and STR+XRT in 85 cases (19%). The 2- and 5-year PFS rates for the GTR group versus the STR+XRT group were 88 versus 91%, and 67 versus 69%, respectively. The 5- and 10-year OS rates for the GTR group versus the STR+XRT group were 98 versus 99%, and 98 versus 95%, respectively. There was no significant difference in PFS (log-rank test) or OS with GTR (log-rank test). Conclusions Given the relative rarity of craniopharyngioma, this study provides estimates of outcome for a variety of treatment combinations, as not all treatments are an option for all patients with these tumors.

“…The lesion proved to be an adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma like the one that had been previously removed (Kordes et al, 2011). Other case reports have documented similar seeding of tumor cells distant from the original tumor site along the surgical path (Ragoowansi and Piepgras, 1991;Lee et al, 1999;Novegno et al, 2002;Ishii et al, 2004;Kawaguchi et al, 2005;Jeong et al, 2006;Yamada et al, 2006;Bikmaz, 2009;Elliott, 2009;Romani et al, 2010;Blank, 2011;Elfving et al, 2011;Jakobs and Orakcioglu, 2012). It is clear from these reports that craniopharyngioma cells have the ability to remain viable after excision, and that if implanted along the surgical tract can potentially create a second lesion (see Table 31.1).…”
