Two rare cases of entirely suprasellar Rathke's cleft cyst were reported. Case 1. A 62-year-old man was admitted to our hospital on the 14th of January, 1988, complaining of headache and diplopia. A plain skull x-ray showed the sella turcica was normal. CT scan and MRI demonstrated a lesion mass located entirely in the suprasellar cistern. Right frontotemporal craniotomy was performed, and the cyst wall was resected subtotally. Microscopic sections of cyst wall showed ciliated single layer with focal stratified epithelium. Case 2. A 51-year-old man was hospitalized complaining of visual impairment in the left eye. Endocrinological examination showed no abnormalities. CT and MRI demonstrated a lesion mass located entirely in the suprasellar region. Right frontotemporal craniotomy was performed. The mass was opened and a large amount of yellowish fluid was released. Histologically, the specimens were simple ciliated cuboidal epithelium. Postoperative courses of these patients were uneventful. The findings on CT and MRI of the cases located entirely in the suprasellar region were varied. The histopathogenesis and embryological pathogenesis of Rathke's cleft cyst in the literature, particularly the entirely suprasellar type, were discussed.
