Abstract
Malignant transformation in a craniopharyngioma has not been described previously. A 49-year-old woman presented with recurrence of a suprasellar craniopharyngioma diagnosed 35 years previously. The patient had been treated surgically for recurrence on five occasions. Radiation therapy had been administered 7 years before the final presentation. Tissue obtained from the fifth operation revealed malignant degeneration in a typical craniopharyngioma. (Neurosurgery 22:427-429, 1988)Keywords
