Brain tumors are either primary (start in the brain itself) or from metastatic disease -- i.e., spread to the brain from a different area of the body. Fifty percent of primary brain tumors are astrocytomas (made up of cells called astrocytes), while the remainder is comprised of more than ten other types. Brain tumors may be benign or malignant (cancer).
Here to follow is a (partial) list of the main types of possible brain tumors: acoustic neuromas (affect the 8th cranial nerve that deals with hearing), atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumors, chondromas, chondrosarcomas, choroid plexus carcinomas and papillomas, chordomas, crainiopharyngiomas, cysts (e.g., arachnoid, colloid, dermoid, Epidermoid Cysts), germ cell tumors, gangliomas, gliomas, ependymomas, and other forms of astrocytomas.
