Research obtained from animal studies and reports of transitional cystic epithelial masses or lesions crossing over from typical to more aggressive pathological subtypes have collectively provided a solid foundation for this theory. Histological features that signify transitional entities beyond simple benign Rathke cleft cysts include squamous metaplasia, stratified squamous epithelium, and ciliated or mucinous goblet cells in squamous-papillary CPs. Several studies have identified key clinical, imaging, and histopathological features that can be used in the differentiation of these lesions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The pattern of embryological formation of the hypothalamic-pituitary axis plays a major role in its propensity for developing cystic epithelial lesions. Subsequent inflammatory, metaplastic, and neoplastic processes may promote further progression along the pathological continuum, ranging from benign epithelial cysts to aggressive neoplastic cystic CPs. Selected clinical, imaging, and histopathological features can be used collectively to help differentiate these lesions and assign a formal diagnosis, thus accurately guiding further treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2010.2.focus09318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,1]],"date-time":"2010-04-01T10:20:01Z","timestamp":1270117201000},"page":"E4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":218,"title":["Craniopharyngioma and other cystic epithelial lesions of the sellar region: a review of clinical, imaging, and histopathological relationships"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Gabriel","family":"Zada","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ning","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Ojerholm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shakti","family":"Ramkissoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pathology, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edward R.","family":"Laws","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Neurosurgery and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-0280004","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"12","article-title":"Correlation of clinical and pathological features in surgically treated craniopharyngiomas","volume":"73","author":"Adamson","year":"1990"},{"key":"b2-0280004","series-title":"J Neurosurg","first-page":"189","article-title":"Surgical outcomes in 118 patients with Rathke cleft cysts","volume":"102","author":"Aho","year":"2005"},{"key":"b3-0280004","series-title":"Virchows Arch A Pathol Anat Histopathol","first-page":"49","article-title":"The pars tuberalis of the human pituitary.
