ABSTRACT
Craniopharyngiomas are rare benign neoplasms of epithelial origin. Usually located in the sellar and suprasellar regions, they typically present with symptoms of mass effect, raised intracranial tension, or endocrinological aberrations. Atypical presentations without these symptoms often delay diagnosis and worsen patient prognostic outcome, while timely diagnosis without these symptoms is essential for patient beneficence. Below, we present a case of an adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma in a 50-year-old female with minimal and non-specific symptoms. Radiographic imagining reported the presence of a cystic lesion in the sellar, suprasellar, and parasellar regions before the surgical excision. The patient was informed and a decision was made to undergo surgical resection of the mass lesion. The postoperative histopathologic study confirmed the neoplasm to be an adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma.
