  1. Intra-Axial Tumors: • Gliomas: One of the most common types of primary brain tumors arising from the brain tissue itself, gliomas arise from the supporting cells of the brain, the glial cells. Astrocytoma: The most common form of glioma, arising from astrocytes. Ependymoma: From the cells lining the ventricles in the brain. GlioblastomaMultiforme (AKA grade IV glioma, malignant glioma): The most aggressive form of glioma. Oligodendroglioma

  2. Hemangioblastoma • Medulloblastoma and other Primitive NeuroectodermalTumors (PNETs) • Metastatic Brain Tumor: Cancers that spread from distant organs can also affect the brain. • Colloid Cyst

  3. Extra-Axial Tumors: • Arachnoid Cyst • Chordoma • Craniopharyngioma • Dermoid Cyst • Epidermoid Cyst • Meningioma • Pituitary Adenoma • Acromegaly (Growth Hormone Secreting Adenoma in adults)

  4. Extra-Axial Tumors: • Cushing's Disease (ACTH Secreting Adenoma) • Endocrine Inactive Adenoma (NonSecreting Adenoma) • Gigantism (Growth Hormone Secreting Adenoma in children) • Prolactinoma • Rathke's Cleft Cyst • Schwannoma • Acoustic Neuroma (Vestibular Schwannoma) • Teratoma
