DICER1 syndrome is a rare inherited tumor predisposition syndrome associated with an increased risk for several malignant and benign tumors. We present a patient with pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation who was found to have a germline pathogenic variant in DICER1 gene. Pineoblastoma is a known DICER1-related tumor; however, the association between pineal parenchymal tumor of intermediate differentiation and DICER1 mutation is rare with only 1 recent large molecular study that has reported this association. This report adds to the evolving tumor spectrum of DICER1 and highlights the importance of molecular evaluation of pediatric brain tumors, for both therapeutic decisions and long-term surveillance.
