Abstract

Pineal anlage tumor is a rare pediatric tumor with clinical and histological features overlapping with pineoblastoma. Two patients with pineal anlage tumor, a 13-month-old female and an 11-month-old male, underwent subtotal resection, high-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell rescue, and radiation. Neither had tumor progression 50months after diagnosis. The tumors underwent next-generation sequencing on a panel of 340 genes. Chromosomal copy gains and losses were present and differed between the tumors. No mutations or amplifications, including none specific to pineoblastoma, were identified.
