After thorough investigations, he was found to have hyponatremia with low serum cortisol and hypothyroidism. After being sedated, intubated and stabilized, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain showed relatively medium to large sellar lesion which was highly suspicious of a craniopharyngioma (CP). However, after performing an endoscopic transphenoidal surgical resection of the lesion, clinical diagnosis supported RCC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The best treatment approach for CP is a complete surgical resection via a transphenoidal approach. Considering the fluid component of RCC, it may be treated with a more conservative surgery and does not necessitate a surgery as invasive as that of CP.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Given the mixed solid and cystic nature of CPs, it is possible to confuse it with RCC and vice versa. The presented case highlights that Rathke\u2019s cyst may be challenging in terms of pre-operative diagnosis, peri-surgical management and histopathological examination.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.01.035","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,2,6]],"date-time":"2020-02-06T11:50:47Z","timestamp":1580989847000},"page":"104-106","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Rathke\u2019s cleft cyst presentation mimicking craniopharyngioma"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Faisal A.","family":"Farrash","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maher","family":"Hassounah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hala A.","family":"Helmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eyas","family":"Othman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naif H.","family":"Alotaibi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-23-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"161","DOI":"10.1148\/radiology.193.1.8090885","article-title":"Incidental pituitary lesions in 1000 unselected autopsy specimens","volume":"193","author":"Teramoto","year":"1994","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"R2-23-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"650","DOI":"10.1148\/radiol.2393050823","article-title":"Intracranial cysts: radiologic-pathologic correlation and imaging approach","volume":"239","author":"Osborn","year":"2006","journal-title":"Radiology"},{"key":"R3-23-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"127","DOI":"10.1159\/000091579","article-title":"Rathke\u2019s cleft cysts","volume":"34","author":"Kanter","year":"2006","journal-title":"Front.
