Pineocytoma and pineoblastoma are now recognised as a spectrum of the same disease. Three cases of pineocytoma (grade I-II) are presented, in which platinum-based chemotherapy was used with some success, either as part of primary therapy or at the time of relapse. With the recent reclassification of pineal parenchymal tumours into a grade I-IV continuum, the place of chemotherapy, previously only well-established in pineoblastoma, is discussed.
松果体细胞瘤和松果体母细胞瘤现在被认为是同一种疾病的不同表现形式。本文报告了3例松果体细胞瘤（I-II级），其中铂类化疗作为初始治疗的一部分或复发时使用，取得了一定成功。随着松果体实质肿瘤最近重新分类为I-IV级连续体，本文讨论了化疗的地位，而化疗此前仅在松果体母细胞瘤中得到充分确立。
