Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Papillary tumors of the pineal region were first described by A. Jouvet et al. in 2003 [1] and were introduced in the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of central nervous system in 2007.[2] Papillary Tumors of the Pineal Region are located on the pineal gland which is located in the center of the brain. The pineal gland is located on roof of the diencephalon. It is a cone-shaped structure dorsal to the midbrain tectum.[3] The tumor appears to be derived from the specialized ependymal cells of the subcommissural organ.[1][4][5] Papillary tumors of the central nervous system and particularly of the pineal region are very rare and so diagnosing them is extremely difficult.[6]
