Preferred Label : hypothalamic neoplasms;
MeSH definition : Benign and malignant tumors of the HYPOTHALAMUS. Pilocytic astrocytomas and hamartomas
are relatively frequent histologic types. Neoplasms of the hypothalamus frequently
originate from adjacent structures, including the OPTIC CHIASM, optic nerve (see OPTIC
NERVE NEOPLASMS), and pituitary gland (see PITUITARY NEOPLASMS). Relatively frequent
clinical manifestations include visual loss, developmental delay, macrocephaly, and
precocious puberty. (From Devita et al., Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology,
5th ed, p2051);
