Literature review reveals limited cases of pineal anlage tumor, indicating challenges in diagnosis and treatment.

A clinical case of a rare pineal anlage tumor in a 6-month-old child illustrates diagnostic challenges.
Pineal anlage tumors account for only 0.04% of childhood brain neoplasms, complicating recognition.
Histologic diagnosis is challenging due to heterogeneous tissue elements in the tumor, often resembling pineoblastoma.
Maximal surgical removal remains the preferred treatment, with efficacy uncertain due to the tumor's rarity.
