Abstract

Non-endocrine neoplasms of the hypothalamus include intrinsic CNS lesions such as gliomas, craniopharyngioma, primary CNS lymphoma, choristoma, meningioma, solitary fibrous tumors, pituicytoma, and choroid plexus papillomas. Hematologic malignancies involving the hypothalamus include Langerhans cell histiocytosis and leukemic infiltration. Extrinsic tumors of the hypothalamus include metastatic disease, germinomas, lipomas, and vascular lesions such as hemangiomas and hemangiopericytomas. In general, these neoplasms present with similar symptoms and require treatment, whether surgical or medical.
