We evaluated the efficacy of interstitial brachytherapy (IBT) using (125)Iodine ((125)I) seeds for treatment of papillary tumors of the pineal region. Between September 2003 and September 2010, four patients (M/F = 2/2; median age, 57.3 years; range 29.2-69.1 years) with papillary tumors of the
OBJECTIVE
Evaluation of results of the neurofiberscopic biopsy of tumors of the pineal region and posterior third ventricle.
METHODS
From 2001 to 2004, 23 patients (mean age, 30.6 yr) with tumors located in the pineal region or posterior third ventricle underwent neurofiberscopic biopsy with
An 18-year-old male was admitted with headache, nausea, and vomiting. Computed tomography (CT) revealed an enhanced tumor of the pineal region and hydrocephalus. The tumor was partially resected via a parieto-occipital craniectomy. The histological diagnosis was germinoma. No serum tumor markers
The 2007 World Health Organization classification of tumors of the central nervous system identified "pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation" (PPTID) as a new pineal parenchymal neoplasm, located between pineocytoma and pineoblastoma as grade II or III. Because of the small number
The authors report a case of pineocytoma in a 44-year-old woman suffering from headache, vomiting and Parinaud syndrome. At histopathological examination the neoplasm showed a ill-defined lobulate pattern with some small pineocytomatous rosettes. The electron-microscopy revealed cells of moderate
Pineal anlage tumor (PAT) is a rare subtype of pineoblastoma (PB), which shows a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 5-year-old boy with PB with a rhabdomyoblastic component. He presented at a local clinic with vomiting and was transferred to our hospital following discovery of a pineal mass. An
CONCLUSIONS

Two patients presented with metastatic pineal tumors. A 69-year-old man had gait disturbance, dementia, and urinary incontinence but no history of previous malignancy. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed a 23-mm tumor in the pineal region and obstructive hydrocephalus. A 37-year-old man
The endoscopic approach has gained an increased popularity in recent years for the biopsy and, in selected cases, the removal of tumors of the posterior third ventricle and pineal region. The authors report their experience on a series of 20 patients discussing also the technical limitations and
We report a boy who in 1994, at the age of 11, presented with headache and vomiting. The fi nal diagnosis was papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a heterogeneous mass. Hydrocephalus was addressed by immediate ventricle drainage; subsequently, we
BACKGROUND
