Abstract
Pineal region tumors include a diverse array of neoplasms arising from various components of the pineal gland, including germ cell tumors, germinomas, teratomas, pineocytomas, pineoblastomas, and tumors derived from glial tissues including gliomas, astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas, and ependymomas. Benign lesions of the pineal gland can include pineal cysts, calcifications and meningiomas. Metastatic tumors can also be found in the pineal region. Numerous infectious and inflammatory conditions can mimic pineal tumors. Most patients present with symptoms of hydrocephalus or Parinaud’s syndrome. Diagnosis often requires biopsy, though some germinomas may be diagnosed based solely on serum and cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers.
