Overview

Pineal germinoma is the most common tumor of the pineal gland accounting for 50% of all tumors and the majority (80%) of intracranial germ cell tumors.[1] Pineal germinoma is a type of germ cell tumor. It refers to a tumor in the pineal gland that has a histology identical to two other tumors: dysgerminoma in the ovary and seminoma in the testis.[2]
