Pineal Body Tumour, A Very Rare but Often Misdiagnosed in Our Clinics and Literature Review
Journal Title: International Journal of Current Science Research and Review - Year 2025, Vol 8, Issue 05
Abstract
This publication aims to review and remind Medical Practitioners of a very rare and often misdiagnosed case of a central nervous system tumour, pineal body tumour. A 4-year old boy child referred from a peripheral hospital in a neighbouring town on account of not responding to several treatments. Mother booked for antenatal care by 3rd month of the pregnancy. She adhered to her treatments and kept to her appointments throughout the care. Mother had a hitch-free labour and delivery. Immediate neonatal and postnatal life was good up to the onset of the present illness. Pineal body tumour is a very rare and often misdiagnosed malignancy because of its several mimicries, which demands a very high index of suspicion and extensive clinical assessment to diagnose. Presently there is daft information on this rare brain tumour, and so this publication.
