The Frequency Of Pediatrics And Adult Brain Tumors: A Hospital Based Study A Multi-center Study.

Abstract The frequency of brain tumors in both children and adults is shockingly high. The Multi center Study pathology records from Department of Neurosurgery lady reading hospital Peshawar, Pakistan served as the data source for this investigation January 2016 and February 2021 Patients as young as 2 years old and as elderly as 82 years old had biopsies of brain tumors performed between 2010 and 2014. Diagnostic, morphological, and immunohistochemical blunders were encountered often. Twenty-one individuals, ranging in age from 2 to 14, were involved in the incidents (14-82 years). High-grade tumours occurred in almost 47% of adults and 33.3% of children. Benign tumours accounted for the vast majority of pediatric cancers (craniopharyngioma, choroid plexus papilloma, astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, ependymoma, and small round blue cell tumour). The most prevalent tumours in adults were astrocytoma (20%), meningioma (21%), pituitary adenoma (7%), and glioblastoma (1%). Other uncommon tumours accounted for 22% of the total. Finally, glioblastoma is the most frequent tumour in adults, whereas craniopharyngioma is the most common in children. Both morphology and immunohistochemistry are useful in making an accurate diagnosis. Several brain tumours, including gliomas, craniopharyngiomas, and medulloblastomas, are rather common
