OR

If the staging system involves specific and characteristic findings and features: According to the [staging system + reference], there are [number] stages of [malignancy name] based on the [finding1], [finding2], and [finding3]. Each stage is assigned a [letter/number1] and a [letter/number2] that designate the [feature1] and [feature2].

Classification

The 2007 WHO classification of central nervous system tumors divides pineal gland tumors into four groups:

  • Pineocytoma (grade I)
  • Pineal parenchymal tumors of intermediate differentiation (grade II or III)
  • Papillary tumor of the pineal region (grade II or III)
  • Pineoblastoma (grade IV)

According to the WHO classification of tumors of the central nervous system, pineocytoma is classified into a WHO grade I tumor.[1]
