The aim of our study was to investigate the correlation of the clinical characteristic of pineal parenchymal tumors in children and adolescent with histopathological diagnosis and patient survival. Records of 27 patients with histologically diagnosed pineocytomas (n=16) and pineoblastoma (n=11) consecutively treated between 1991 and 2001 were reviewed retrospectively to identify factors predictive of aggressiveness. Among analyzed epidemiological, clinical, and radiological factors, we found that independent prognostic indicator in patients with childhood pineal parenchymal tumor was the extent of surgical resection.
我们研究的目的是探讨儿童和青少年松果体实质肿瘤的临床特征与组织病理学诊断和患者生存的相关性。回顾性分析了 1991 年至 2001 年间连续治疗的 27 例经组织学诊断为松果体细胞瘤(n=16)和松果体母细胞瘤(n=11)患者的记录,以确定预测侵袭性的因素。在分析的流行病学、临床和影像学因素中,我们发现儿童松果体实质肿瘤患者的独立预后指标是手术切除范围。
