Sažetak
Background: Papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR) represents a rare and histologically distinct subgroup of tumors originating in the pineal region. Few pediatric cases have been reported so far in the literature ; therefore, clinical data are scarce. Case description: We describe a case of PTPR in a 9-year-old girl who presented with a 5-month history of excessive appetite and weight gain. The patient underwent neuroimaging procedures and total gross surgical resection with postoperative adjuvant local radiotherapy, which from our experience was the best treatment choice as an attempt to avoid local recurrence. During 78-month follow-up, the patient from our study manifested no disease recurrence. Conclusion: PTPR should be included in the differential diagnosis of pineal region masses.
