Popis: Clinical behaviors, prognosis, and appropriate treatments of PTPR are not fully defined due to the rarity of these tumors. At diagnosis, PTPR may present with various clinical symptoms with obstructive hydrocephalus, as well as neurological signs including Parinaud’s syndrome. Radiological assessment of pineal region lesions is challenging with a wide range of potential differential diagnoses. PTPR typically presents as a heterogeneous, well circumscribed mass in the pineal region. we report 3 female pediatric cases of PTPR treated in our institution. Histological and immunohistochemical diagnosis was confirmed by analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation profiles. the first case presenting with spinal leptomeningeal dissemination with excellent tumor control with radiation therapy alone. The second patient had aggressive course with recurrent local tumor growth despite radiation therapy and 0repeated surgical resections and she responded well to Pineoblastoma like intensive chemotherapy6 repeats of alternating 4-week cycles A&B : Cycle A: Cisplatin 90 mg/m2/day, day 1 of a & oral Etoposide 35 mg/m2/day P.O. days 1-21 . Cycle B: Cyclophosphamide 1 g/m2/day, days 1 and 2, Vincristine 1.5 mg/m2, days 1, 8 . While the third patient after first near gross total surgical resection with no recurrence for 18 months without adjuvant therapy then she had local recurrence which was salvaged by second complete resection and focal radiation The proper therapeutic strategy for PTPR is not clearer and the clinical behavior of PTPRs can be compared to that of ependymoma with complete resection is the mainstay of treatment and we recommend that adjuvant therapies like radiation with or without or chemotherapy should be considered when complete surgical resection is not feasible. This case series expands on the available reports on the clinical presentations of PTPR and provides important information on the responses to different treatments modalities
