The metastatic involvement of the pineal gland is an extremely unusual event; it has a 4% incidence in patients with disseminated neoplasias. Most metastatic pineal lesions are asymptomatic. Only in a small number of cases the symptoms produced by metastatic involvement of this organ precede those of the primary tumor or those of another metastatic site. To our knowledge the herein reported case is the first in which the pineal gland was apparently the unique metastatic site of a primitive kidney carcinoma and where the symptoms produced by metastasis in the pineal region were the first sign of the disease.
松果体的转移受累是极其罕见的事件；在播散性肿瘤患者中的发生率为4%。大多数松果体转移瘤是无症状的。只有少数情况下，该器官转移受累产生的症状先于原发性肿瘤或其他转移部位的症状出现。据我们所知，本文报道的病例是首例松果体明显是原发性肾癌唯一转移部位且松果体区域转移产生的症状是该疾病首发体征的病例。
