Abstract
Some of the older descriptions of “Markschwämme” or medullary carcinomas of the pituitary were most probably descriptions of craniopharyngiomas. However, we owe to Erdheim (1904) the first correct interpretation and adequate description of these tumors. Among subsequent contributions, the following are especially worth mentioning: Strada; Critchley and Ironside; Frazier and Alpers (1931); McLean (1930); and Wittermann.
