Abstract:

Primary pineal melanocytomas are extremely rare pathologies and predominantly are clinically manifested by nonspecific symptoms of a pineal affect, which could be characteristic for tumors of different histological nature located in the same region. Also these tumors differ from other melanocytic tumors by their slow growth and relatively favorable clinical prognosis.

Keywords:
