Excerpt

In the comment to our recent study on Pineal Parenchymal Tumors of Intermediate Differentiation (PPTID) [3], the author raised important issues regarding the classification of pineal tumors. Indeed, the typing of tumors arising in this region needs to be revisited in a larger effort. In our cohort, we specifically focused on tumors that were, based on the current WHO classification CNS5, compatible with PPTID and had been diagnosed as such before [2]. A clinically annotated, similarly sized cohort of pineocytoma was not available, hence comparison towards this pole of the classification spectrum is limited. …
