Two cases of low-grade astrocytoma arising from the pineal gland are described in this report. These rare lesions have only been reported on two previous occasions to arise distinctly from the pineal gland. Histologically, one tumor was consistent with a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma, while the other was consistent with a fibrillary astrocytoma. The pathological features, clinical implications, and treatment of low-grade astrocytomas in the pineal region are discussed.
本报告描述了两例起源于松果体的低级别星形细胞瘤。这些罕见病变此前仅有两次被报道明确起源于松果体。组织学上，一例肿瘤符合青少年毛细胞型星形细胞瘤，另一例符合纤维型星形细胞瘤。本文讨论了松果体区低级别星形细胞瘤的病理特征、临床意义及治疗方法。
