Pineal region tumors are primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. These tumors begin in the brain (in the pineal gland) but can spread to the spinal cord. To get an accurate diagnosis, a piece of tumor tissue will be removed during surgery, if possible. A neuropathologist should then review the tumor tissue.

2022年8月25日 · Pineal tumors are a form of tumor that develops in the pineal gland or around the pineal region of the brain. They're classified as central nervous system (CNS) tumors.

In this review, we report the clinical relevance of the main pineal gland tumors, underlining the importance of studying the triggering causes of pineal region carcinogenesis, to realize appropriate diagnosis and, consequently, better clinical management.

2024年10月11日 · Pineal region tumors develop in or around the pineal gland, a small, pea-sized organ near the brain’s center. They can be benign or malignant, and they are rare.

2025年1月14日 · Pineoblastoma is a type of cancer that starts in the brain's pineal gland. The pineal gland is located in the center of the brain. The gland makes a hormone called melatonin. Melatonin plays a role in the body's natural sleep-wake cycle. Pineoblastoma begins as a growth of cells in the pineal gland.

Pineal region tumors are rare intracranial tumors. A deeper knowledge of these tumors’ molecular mechanisms has been gained in recent years, which has led to a new classification and new potential systemic treatments.

What is a pineal tumor? A pineal tumor is a tumor or mass that forms in the pineal gland. This small gland is in the middle of your head. It's surrounded by your brain. It makes a hormone called melatonin that affects your sleep-wake cycles. Pineal tumors are very rare.

Pineoblastoma is a rare, cancerous brain tumor that forms in your pineal gland. This tiny, pinecone-shaped gland is in the center of your brain. Pineoblastoma can spread quickly through the fluid surrounding your brain (cerebrospinal fluid). What is pineoblastoma? Pineoblastoma is a cancerous (malignant) brain tumor in your pineal gland.

Tumors of the pineal region are classified into those arising from the pineal parenchyma, germ cell neoplasms, metastasis from other organs, and lesions arising from adjacent structures.

2022年7月4日 · A pinealoma is a type of brain tumor that affects the pineal gland. Not all are cancerous. Learn about the types of pineal tumors, common symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment.
