Abstract
PURPOSE: Pineal anlage tumors (PAT) are extremely rare malignant tumors in the pediatric population considered to be a variant of pineoblastomas. These tumors are characterized by a combination of neuroectodermal and heterologous ectomesenchymal components. PAT can be clinically aggressive and has a propensity to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination. So far, only 13 cases of these tumors have been reported in the literature. CASE ARTICLE: In this article, we report the case of an anlage tumor in a 3-year-old girl with a rapidly aggressive course.Entities:
