1923K. H. Krabbe in Endocrinol. VII. 391 In none of the cases has the tumor been an adenoma or, more exactly, ‘pinealoma’, but always a teratoma. 1948R. A. Willis Path. of Tumours lii. 820 Pineal tumours, either pinealomas or teratomas, occurring in young children have often been accompanied by precocious bodily, mental or sexual development. 1966Wright & Symmers Systemic Path. II. xxxiii. 1134/2 Teratomas, pinealomas and gliomas are the usual neoplasms of the pineal gland, although collectively even these tumours are rare. 1974J. M. R. Edwards in T. J. Deeley Central Nervous Syst. Tumours iv. 99 Some of the tumours occurring in the pineal gland are undoubtedly teratomas but there is controversy concerning the pathological nature of the ‘pinealoma’. |
