MeSH Heading: Hypothalamic Neoplasms
Tree Number(s): C04.588.614.250.195.885.500; C10.228.140.211.885.500; C10.228.140.617.477; C10.551.240.250.700.500
Unique ID: D007029
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D007029
Annotation: coord IM with site in hypothalamus (IM) + histol type of neopl (IM)
Scope Note: 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.
