Zusammenfassung:— Twenty‐nine autopsy specimens of intracerebral tumours (nine astrocytomata, ten medulloblastomata and ten glioblastomata multiforme), as well as samples of peritumoral and apparently normal brain tissue, have been studied for Na, K, P, Ca, Mg, Cu, and S contents. The tumour tissue, irrespective of the histological characteristics, as compared to the ‘normal’ and perineoplastic tissues, showed higher concentration of Ca, Mg, Cu and S. The peritumoral tissue, regardless of the tumour type, showed a higher concentration of Cu than the ‘normal’ control brain. The more malignant glioblatomata and medulloblastomata. The Cu levels did not show a significant diference.
