A new MRI scan revealed a contrast-enhancing space-occupying lesion of approximately 2 cm in size in the pineal region [Figure 1].

The tumor was easily recognized; it was soft, cystic, and pale yellow in color [Figure 2].
MRI scans (post operative) showing near total tumor removal (a, b, c, e and f). FLAIR (e) and TW2 (a) show slight signal enhancement (small tumor remnant) in posterior part of thalamus and aqueduct.
