Sažetak

The most prevalent tumors of the central nervous system are glial tumors. This
group of tumors encompasses the whole span from the most benign brain tumors such as
pilocytic astrocytomas to the most malignant tumors such as glioblastomas. These tumors
are sometimes diagnostically challenging not only for clinicians but also for neuropathologists.
Diagnostic challenge is even greater because of the usage of different terminologies –
physicians of different specialties frequently talk about the same tumor but without understanding
each other. The aim of this article is to overcome this obstacles by presenting
concise histopathological features in order to make them more familiar to clinicians.
