A papillary tumor of the pineal region (PTPR) is a rare tumor of neuroepithelial origin formed from specialized ependymocytes of the subcommissural organ located in the lining of the posterior commissure, not the pineal gland itself. Patients with this type of tumor generally present with nonspecific symptoms secondary to obstructive hydrocephalus such as headache and vision changes. The mean age of patient presentation is 31, with a slight predominance in females. This type of tumor has a high rate of recurrence (56%) following surgical resection. This case study describes the presentation of this uncommon tumor in a 61-year-old woman, including presentation, imaging, surgery, and pathology findings.
松果体区乳头状瘤（PTPR）是一种罕见的神经上皮起源肿瘤，由位于后连合内衬的连合下器官的特殊室管膜细胞形成，而非松果体本身。这类肿瘤患者通常因梗阻性脑积水出现非特异性症状，如头痛和视力改变。患者出现症状的平均年龄为31岁，女性略占多数。这类肿瘤手术切除后复发率较高（56%）。本病例研究描述了一名61岁女性中这种罕见肿瘤的表现，包括临床表现、影像学、手术及病理结果。
