Overview

Brain tumor pathology is the study and microscopic examination of tumors of the brain and central nervous system to determine their type, grade, and biological behavior. Pathologists analyze tissue samples obtained by biopsy or surgery, using histological and molecular techniques to classify tumors, distinguish primary tumors from metastases, and assess features that guide prognosis and treatment. Accurate pathological diagnosis is essential because the management of brain tumors depends heavily on the precise identification of the tumor and its characteristics. This topic falls within the scope of Brain And Spinal Cancer, and reported research relevant here includes a case demonstrating the importance of contemporary pathology techniques to differentiate a second malignant neoplasm from extra-neuraxial metastasis in a previously treated medulloblastoma, a report of a rare sellar lesion identified as pituitary actinomyces infection, and a case of rare thoracic intramedullary melanocytoma with literature review. These cases illustrate the diagnostic challenges and techniques central to neuro-oncological pathology. This page gathers open-access, peer-reviewed research relevant to brain tumor pathology and the diagnosis of central nervous system tumors.
