Primary Infundibular Cystic and Infundibulo-Tuberal Craniopharyngioma: Report of Two Cases

Craniopharyngiomas are benign but locally invasive tumors which are frequently located in the suprasellar region. Primary infundibular and infundibulo-tuberal craniopharyngiomas are rare because of their location and generally result in late diagnosis. Due to the unusual location, the chosen mode of treatment is very important for patient's recovery. With infundibular and infundibulo-tuberal lesions, two patients were referred to our clinic, one of them was not considered as craniopharyngioma as the primary diagnosis. Both masses were operated, removed totally and craniopharyngioma diagnosis was proven pathologically.
