Title: Pineal anlage tumor: A case report and clinico-pathological review. Cord-id: pmpvcm6t Document date: 2021_5_5
ID: pmpvcm6t
Snippet: Pineal anlage tumor (PAT) is an extremely rare tumor of paediatric population. It is considered as a subtype of pineoblastoma having ectomesenchymal/ rhabdomyoblastic and cartilaginous differentiation. PAT is presumed to have an aggressive behaviour with propensity for craniospinal fluid (CSF) spread due to histologically resemblance with pineoblastoma, thus requiring intensive multimodality treatment with craniospinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Here we report a case of PAT in a 35 years old
Document: Pineal anlage tumor (PAT) is an extremely rare tumor of paediatric population. It is considered as a subtype of pineoblastoma having ectomesenchymal/ rhabdomyoblastic and cartilaginous differentiation. PAT is presumed to have an aggressive behaviour with propensity for craniospinal fluid (CSF) spread due to histologically resemblance with pineoblastoma, thus requiring intensive multimodality treatment with craniospinal irradiation and chemotherapy. Here we report a case of PAT in a 35 years old lady along with clinical and pathological review. To the best of our knowledge only less than ten cases of pineal anlage tumors have been reported in the literature and index case is only second in the adult age group (rare histology in rare age group).
