What’s the difference between a craniopharyngioma and a pituitary adenoma?

Craniopharyngiomas and pituitary adenomas can both affect hormone function. Pituitary adenomas are tumors that come from your pituitary gland, and craniopharyngiomas are located near that gland. Although both tumors are considered benign, craniopharyngiomas generally have a more aggressive nature than pituitary adenomas.
