Tumor Location and Size
Tumor location, size, and approach findings are presented in Table 2. Of the eleven tumors, GCTs were found exclusively as a part of the suprasellar or infundibular regions (4/4; Table 2), PCTs were found as a part of the infundibular or sellar regions, while SCOs were found in the suprasellar, infundibular, or sellar regions. GCTs were the only tumors to be found exclusively as a part of the infundibular region, as well as exclusively presenting in the suprasellar space. Pre-operative MRI scans were used to determine tumor sizes in the vertical direction and maximum dimensions in the horizontal direction. The average tumor was 1.93 cm at presentation, with GCTs, PCTs, and SCOs averaging 1.48 cm, 2.23 cm, and 2.13 cm respectively (p = 0.3). Figure 1 depicts the relative location and size (scaled relative to the two maximum dimensions) of the eleven different tumors.
