Pineoblastoma

A pineoblastoma is a rare, aggressive and malignant tumor that grows in or near the pineal gland, a small endocrine gland located in the center of the brain. Unlike other similar tumors, a pineoblastoma can spread through the cerebrospinal fluid, but it rarely reaches other parts of the body.
