Specimens from operation of 211 sellar and juxta-sellar tumors were observed histopathologi-cally, and discussed about the true form of "cho-lesterol granuloma reaction" in those tumors. Depending on the characteristic histological fea-ture, "cholesterol granuloma reaction" was classi-fied into 3 groups, each of which also repre-sented a step of process of organization. Group I (cholesterol clefts predominates in hemorrhagic and necrotic foci), group II (foreign body giant cells, macrophages, round cell infiltrations are present other than cholesterol clefts, signifying active organization), group III (numerous chole-sterol clefts predominates in fibrous scar tissue). Feature of "cholesterol granuloma reaction" were seen in 6 cases among 37 cases of craniopharyn-gioma with verified histology (16%), 8 among 165 in pituitary adenomas (5%) and 1 among 5 in pitui-tary epithelial cysts (20%). In addition, there were 4 cases in which histologic sections of the surgical specimen showed only the feature of "cholesterol granuloma reaction", in the absence of tumorous epithelial components. "Cholesterol granuloma re-action" is thought to develop as a secondary reac-tion to hemorrhage or tissue necrosis (pituitary adenomas), or to keratinization (craniopharyn-giomas). In occasions in which surgical specimen show only a feature of "cholesterol granuloma re-action", making the final diagnosis is necessary to be careful, taking account of other lesions as well as craniopharyngiomas.
