Abstract

We here report an unusual tumor of the suprasellar region featuring a papillary growth pattern and cytokeratin expression in a 10-year-old boy with tuberous sclerosis. This hitherto undescribed low-grade hypothalamic tumor extends the spectrum of tumors associated with the tuberous sclerosis complex.
