Papillary craniopharyngiomas are rare tumors of the central nervous system that typically occur in children and older adults. These tumors arise from embryonic cells near the stalk of the pituitary gland and are located in a challenging anatomical position near important structures such as the optic nerve, pituitary gland, and third ventricle. Due to their location, complete surgical removal is often not possible, and radiation therapy can result in complications and variable efficacy. Despite being histologically benign, papillary craniopharyngiomas pose a significant management challenge.
