Pineocytoma : Synaptophysin
Image Description
Pineal parenchymal tumors show immunoreactivity for a variety of neuroendocrine markers such as neurofilament, synaptophysin (shown here), neuron-specific enolase, chromogranin, and CD56. Note the intense positivity in the cellular processes in the center of the rosettes.
