Introduction: The epithalamus region contains the tiny, functionally endocrine pineal gland, which has the shape of a pinecone. Less than 1% of adult primary intracranial malignancies are pineal parenchymal tumors, which are incredibly uncommon brain tumors. A rare variety of pineal parenchymal tumors are those with intermediate differentiation. These tumors, whose namesake refers to a malignant pineal parenchymal tumor, are intermediate between pineoblastomas and pineocytomas (a benign pineal parenchymal tumor). Case Presentation: A female patient, age 13, who had been experiencing terrible headaches on and off for a month, went to the emergency room. Along with the headache, she experienced nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and blurred eyesight. A nonenhanced computed tomography scan was used for the initial brain neuroimaging, which showed a hypodense mass posterior to the midbrain and superior to the cerebellum. A heterogeneous bulk was visible on MRI. Clinical Outcome: The headache, vertigo, visual disturbance, nausea, and vomiting have all improved, according to the patient. Both postoperative MRIs with and without contrast revealed the resolution of the obstructive hydrocephalus and the absence of any residual enhancing mass. The patient was followed up for 2 months without any complications or adverse events. Conclusion: One should carefully investigate a headache as the early symptom of many illnesses and rule out any other potential causes. This would therefore enable us to create a management structure for such a very unusual malignancy.
