Abstract:
A pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation (PPID) is a rare entity, and optimal treatment is still unclear. Combined multimodality treatment should be considered in PPID due to high recurrence rates. Gross total resection is the first choice of treatment, however, it may not be feasible in every case due to location. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be considered for the treatment of primary and recurrent disease, as it enables us to deliver a high radiation dose to the target while minimizing radiation exposure to normal tissue. In this report, we present a case treated with hypofractionated SRS for recurrent/metastatic PPID after the primary tumor was controlled with the combination of surgery and conventionally fractionated radiotherapy.
