Summary:Highlights • We described the first case of a primary ectopic fronto-temporal craniopharyngioma. • A primary ectopic craniopharyngioma is a tumor that arises for the first time without previous surgery in any compartment with no midline involvement from remnants of the Rathke’s pouch. • Keyhole endoscopic approach gives a better screen image of neurovascular elements, better illumination and less brain retraction.
