English
pineal gland tumordefinition: very rare tumor of the pineal gland, a small structure, about the size of a pea, located near the center of the brain. Pineal gland tumors occur most frequently in children and young adults. Symptoms may include problems in movement, mental deterioration, and difficulty in looking up because the pineal gland is near the nerve center that controls upward movement of the eyes. The main treatment used is surgery, although radiation therapy is also used to reduce the tumors. (en)

definition: tumor atípico de la glándula pineal, pequeña formación del tamaño de un guisante localizada cerca del centro del cerebro. Hay cuatro tipos de tumores benignos de glándula pineal. Los tumores de la glándula pineal se presentan de forma más habitual en niños y jóvenes. Los síntomas que presentan son problemas locomotores, deterioro mental y dificultad al mirar hacia arriba, puesto que la glándula pineal se encuentra cerca del centro nervioso que controla el movimiento de los ojos hacia arriba. El tratamiento lo constituye la cirugía, aunque también se emplea radioterapia para reducir la masa tumoral. (es)
