The pineal gland is an exceptionally uncommon site of origin. We report the first case of a synaptophysin-positive, H3K27M-altered DMG in the pineal gland of a 7-year-old female, characterized by hypercellularity, moderate atypia, high mitotic activity, and a Ki-67 index of 30%. Immunohistochemistry confirmed positivity for glial markers: glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (Olig2), loss of hypotrimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 (H3K27me3), and synaptophysin expression, an unusual feature for DMGs. Methylation profiling established the diagnosis. A systematic review identified seven cases of pineal H3K27M-altered DMG (age ranged from 7 to 65 years, with three pediatric and four adult) revealing notable immunohistochemical heterogeneity, limited molecular data (only our case had available methylation profiling) and a synaptophysin expression limited to our pediatric case. Sparse clinical outcome data precluded robust prognostic comparisons. These findings underscore the biological heterogeneity and diagnostic challenges of pineal DMGs and underscore the necessity of comprehensive molecular and immunohistochemical assessments to optimize diagnosis and guide emerging targeted therapies.</p>","PeriodicalId":47283,"journal":{"name":"Reports of Practical Oncology and Radiotherapy","volume":"30 6","pages":"840-849"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12768008/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145913152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CG provides an overarching organisational framework encompassing leadership structures, clinical effectiveness, risk management, audits, professional development, and patient engagement. In radiation oncology, CG plays a critical role in enhancing treatment safety and quality by standardising protocols, conducting regular audits and peer reviews, implementing risk management strategies, and supporting continuous education for multidisciplinary teams.
