Presentation
An interesting feature seen in the present case was a prominent tigroid background. This is a characteristic cytologic feature observed in Romanowsky-type stained smears of germinoma and related tumors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pineal Tumor Treatment Surgery is essential to obtain a sample of tumor tissue so the pathologist can confirm a precise histological diagnosis. Precise diagnosis is required to plan appropriate therapy. [emedicinehealth.com]

Staring Spells
METHODS: A 10-year-old female with trisomy 21 presented with behavioral alterations, progressive disequilibrium, difficulty executing simple tasks and ‘staring spells’ of one month’s duration. [neuro-oncology.oxfordjournals.org]
Workup
Limited/available immunohistochemistry workup has been done. Keywords: Intracranial space occupying lesions, papillary tumor of pineal region, pineal region tumors, WHO classification of brain tumors How to cite this article: Patil M, Karandikar M. [mjdrdypu.org]

His workup there revealed a pineal mass. For this, the patient underwent a ventriculoperitoneal shunt and was referred to gamma knife radiosurgery without tissue diagnosis at an outside facility. [bioline.org.br]
• Diagnostic workup includes a thorough clinical and neurological examination, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and serum markers. Serum markers when positive are best used to follow the tumor response to therapy. [clinicalgate.com]
The 6 papillary CNS metastases had a complete prior workup with IHCs confirming their origin, such as TTF1 and thyroglobulin for papillary thyroid carcinoma, TTF1, CK7, CK20 for lung adenocarcinoma, and Pax8, WT1, CK7, CK20 for serous carcinoma of the [actaneurocomms.biomedcentral.com]
Treatment
Five years after treatment, the tumor size is still decreasing, showing a good response to the treatment. Stereotactic radiosurgery should be considered a treatment option in these surgically challenging tumors. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There are no known systemic treatments for PTPR once it is refractory to surgery and radiation. [semanticscholar.org]
Prognosis
The biological behavior, prognosis, and appropriate treatment of PTPR have yet to be fully defined. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
At variance with pineocytomas, usually characterized by a good prognosis, papillary tumors behave more aggressively. [minervamedica.it]
Etiology
As a result of the etiology, certain observations suggest that gonadotropins play a role in the development or progression of CNS germ cell tumors. [clinicalgate.com]
Epidemiology
Epidemiology and Demographics The incidence/prevalence of [disease name] is approximately [number range] per 100,000 individuals worldwide. [wikidoc.org]
Due to the insufficient epidemiological and clinico-pathologic data, this tumor still awaits a WHO grade. [astrocyte.in]
