Abstract: Pineocytoma and pineoblastoma, originating from pineal parenchyma, are rare and usually solid. An unusual case of totally cystic pineocytoma in a 37-year-old female is reported. The tumor showed neuronal differentiation and had a good outcome. Prominent calcification associated with pineocytoma and pineoblastoma is an useful finding to differentiate these from benign pineal cysts.
