Abstract
Craniopharyngioma is a benign tumor classified as grade 1 by the World Health Organization Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System. We present a rare case of a high-18F-FDG-avidity papillary craniopharyngioma of the third ventricle. A 65-year-old man underwent CT and MRI examinations for gait disturbance, lower-limb weakness, and urinary incontinence, and an oval solid tumor that extended from the suprasellar region to the third ventricle was identified. 18F-FDG PET/CT showed high accumulation (SUVmax, 22.3) in the tumor. A transventricular endoscopic tumor biopsy led to the diagnosis of papillary craniopharyngioma.
