Papillary Tumor of the Pineal Region: A Case Report %R 10.30476/mejc.2018.42110 %X Pineal region tumors are uncommon lesions in the central nervous system. Papillary tumor of the pineal region is recently recognized as a separate disease. Its incidence, treatment, and outcome are not well-defined. We have reported the case of a 6 yearold- boy with papillary tumor of the pineal region. He presented with headaches, nausea and vomiting and, after a biopsy, was referred for radiotherapy. The patient received 54 Gy irradiation to the pineal region followed by a chemotherapy regimen of cisplatin, vincristine, and lomostine. His tumor decreased slightly. After 4 years, the patient has remained well and attends school. He is under routine follow-up. We suggest radical radiotherapy as the main treatment for papillary tumors of the pineal region. %U https://mejc.sums.ac.ir/article_42110_7fc30918522dd18852209575a5bde46e.pdf
