| description | Background/aims: Intracranial tumours demonstrate characteristic
diagnostic histopathological features. Our aims were to look at the
histo-pathological pattern of intracranial tumours in our environment
including their age and sex distribution. Methods: The histology
request forms and slides of all intracranial specimens submitted to the
histo-pathology department of National Hospital, Abuja, over an 11 year
period (2005 and 2015) were retrospectively reviewed. Results:
Intracranial specimens and intracranial tumours accounted for 0.6% and
0.5% respectively of all samples submitted. Meningiomas accounted for
the most frequent diagnosis for all intracranial specimens and
intracranial tumours at 35% and 41% respectively followed by pituitary
adenoma at 19% and 22%, and astrocytoma at 13% and 20%. The male female
ratio for all diagnoses was 1:1. The mean age at diagnosis was 35
± 17.1 years. The frequency of intracranial tumours in children
was 11.8% with a mean age of 8.3 ± 4.4 years and an equal sex
distribution. In children, glioma and embryonal tumours were the most
frequent diagnosis at 25%. Conclusion: The histo-pathological pattern
of intracranial tumours in our environment showed that meningioma is
the most common intracranial tumour in adults, while glioma and
embryonal tumours are the most common intracranial tumours in children. |
