Diagram of the possible mechanisms of craniopharyngioma transformation. (a) The peripheral palisading epithelium of an adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma (aCP) undergoes transformation. (b) The squamous cells of a coexisting papillary squamous craniopharyngioma (pCP) or a mixed-type tumor undergo transformation. (c) Neighboring normal epithelial cells undergo transformation. (d) A distant metastasis invades an aCP
