BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tumors of pineal cell origin have different prognosis and
treatment than those of germ cell origin. The recent literature suggests that these tumors …

Introduction Quantitative values of CT attenuation, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), and
standardized uptake value (SUV) were investigated for differentiation between pineal …

Introduction Our study aimed to elucidate the imaging features for the differentiation of pineal
germinoma and other pineal region tumors. Methods Image data sets of computed …

ABSTRACT Background and Purpose. The authors report radiological findings in 11 tumors
in the pineal region, which were histologically diagnosed as germinomas, pineocytomas …

The pineal region is a heterogeneous area that includes the pineal gland and several
parapineal structures. Pineal region masses include germ cell tumors (GCTs), pineal …

Objectives Pineal lesions can present as a heterogeneous collection of benign and
malignant disease conditions. Pineal lesions include germ cell tumours, neoplasms arising …

CT and MR findings were retrospectively reviewed in 12 patients with germ cell tumors
originating from the non-pineal regions. Cystic or necrotic components were seen in 6 …

Twenty-eight patients with tumor of the pineal region underwent magnetic resonance (MR)
examination. Gadolinium DTPA was given to 13 patients. Histologic confirmation was …

The significance of histological diagnosis was retrospectively investigated in the treatment of
79 consecutive patients with pineal region tumours. Histological diagnoses were consistent …

BACKGROUND This study examined the outcome of patients with histologically confirmed
pineal region tumors. METHODS One hundred thirty‐five patients with histologically …
