Craniopharyngioma: Unusual computed tomographic presentation.
Craniopharyngioma usually presents on a computed tomographic (CT) scan as a hypodense or isodense lesion, with calcification, in the suprasellar region. A case with atypical CT findings of a huge, homogeneous, high density, apparently solid, lobulated suprasellar mass is presented. An explanation for the appearance of the tumor is discussed based upon clinical analysis of the tumor contents.
