One hundred and twenty (120) CNS Biopsy specimens were studied in a two year period. Out of 120 CNS tumors, 103 were primary, 17 were metastatic. Among 17 metastatic tumors, the most common histological type is adenocarcinoma. The most frequent type of CNS tumour was astrocytoma followed by meningioma.
