Craniopharyngioma is a tumor located in the pituitary gland or surrounding areas. Although not a cancer, it can exert ill effects by compressing the brain and surrounding tissue. It is believed that a person is born with this growth, and it can become evident in childhood or later in life. Surgery, along with radiation in some cases, is used to treat this problem.
