Abstract
Craniopharyngiomas are rare tumors of low histological malignancy (World Health Organization grade I) in the sellar and suprasellar region of the brain. We report a case of the third ventricular craniopharyngioma detected using 18F-choline PET/CT in a 43-year-old man. MRI of the brain revealed an intense gadolinium enhancement focus in the same area. Histology revealed characteristics of papillary craniopharyngioma. Our findings suggest that craniopharyngioma should be included in the differential diagnosis of 18F-choline-avid brain lesions.
