Subtypes of craniopharyngioma

A craniopharyngioma w/ epithelium that form stellate reticulum, wet keratin and basal palisades.
Up to 95% of cases of this variant shows CTNNB1 mutations and aberrant nuclear expression of beta- catenin.
Bimodal age distribution: childhood peak age 5–15 years, adult peak age 45–60 years.38
