"T1: iso- to slightly hypointense to brain"

"Molecular evidence has, demonstrated that the vast majority (>90%) papillary craniopharyngiomas have distinct mutations of BRAF and these are a useful in separating them from adamantinomatous craniopharyngiomas that have CTNNB1 mutations, with only rare coexistence of BRAF mutations 1-3,10,11."
"Furthermore, as the vast majority of papillary craniopharyngiomas tumours have BRAF V600E mutations, treatment with BRAF-MEK inhibition (e.g. combination vemurafenib-cobimetinib or dabrafenib-trametinib) has been tried in patients with residual disease following surgery with positive early results 8."
