[Tumours of the pineal region: Part II: results of treatment in 23 patients (author's transl)]. 1979

U Hase, and H Hock, and E Schindler, and K Schürmann

The outcome of 23 patients with tumours in the pineal region was investigated following treatment with shunting, irradiation, extirpation or with a combination of these three procedures. The choice of therapy is difficult because in most cases the kind of tumour is unknown. The irradiation of radioresistant lesions however causes an unnecessary injury of the surrounding tissue whereas the trial of extirpation of a radiosensitive tumour exposes the patient to an unnecessary danger. After the results of therapy a method of treatment is proposed.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010870 Pineal Gland A light-sensitive neuroendocrine organ attached to the roof of the THIRD VENTRICLE of the brain. The pineal gland secretes MELATONIN, other BIOGENIC AMINES and NEUROPEPTIDES. Epiphysis Cerebri,Pineal Body,Corpus Pineale,Gland, Pineal,Pineal Bodies,Pineal Glands
D010871 Pinealoma Neoplasms which originate from pineal parenchymal cells that tend to enlarge the gland and be locally invasive. The two major forms are pineocytoma and the more malignant pineoblastoma. Pineocytomas have moderate cellularity and tend to form rosette patterns. Pineoblastomas are highly cellular tumors containing small, poorly differentiated cells. These tumors occasionally seed the neuroaxis or cause obstructive HYDROCEPHALUS or Parinaud's syndrome. GERMINOMA; CARCINOMA, EMBRYONAL; GLIOMA; and other neoplasms may arise in the pineal region with germinoma being the most common pineal region tumor.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
