[The adenohypophysis in craniopharyngiomas (morphologic study)].

Morphological examination of hypophyses in craniopharyngiomas showed that the hypophysis as a formed gland may be absent in the sella turcica, but aggregations of its cells in certain amount may be found in the fibrous capsule of craniopharyngioma. It is quite possible that exactly this fact explains to a certain measure the increasing hormonal deficit in total and subtotal removal of the tumor.
