 ==Overview==
-Pineal gland tumors are broadly divided into four subcategories. The various types of pineal gland tumors include:<ref name="typesofpinealglandtumors1">Pineal region mass. Dr Henry Knipe and Dr Frank Gaillard et al. Radiopaedia 2015. http://radiopaedia.org/articles/pineal-region-mass. Accessed on November 18, 2015</ref>
-. [[Pineal parenchymal tumors]]: Pineal parenchymal tumors arise directly from the normal functional cells of the pineal gland, pineal parenchymal cells (pineocytes or their precursors), and they are distinct from other pineal gland neoplasms such as astrocytic and germ cell tumors. These tumors are formed after the embryological development of the pineal gland.<br>
-. [[Germ cell tumor classification|Pineal germ cell tumors]]: They are tumors which arise from the embryological abnormalities. They are derived from the germ cells, including sex cells, of the pineal gland during the developmental process of the pineal gland.<br>
-. [[astrocytoma|Astrocytoma of the pineal gland]]: They arise from the [[astrocytes]], which are a particular kind of star-shaped, glial brain cells around the pineal gland.<br>
-. [[Intracerebral metastases|Pineal metastasis]]: Pineal metastasis is a cancer that has metastasized to the pineal gland from another location in the body.<br>
