Sažetak
The aim of this study was to analyze distribution and proportion of intracranial tumors from data obtained at "Ljudevit Jurak" University Department of Pathology from 1989 to 2002. The data from our computer database were analyzed according to the histological diagnosis, patient age (four groups), and sex. There were 2403 intracranial tumors, out of which 667 (27,8%) were malignant gliomas ( anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas), 593 (24.7%) meningiomas, 328 (13.6%) pituitary adenomas, 159 (6.6%) schwannomas and the others 13.7%. Metastatic intracranial tumors were diagnosed in 326 (13.6%) patients. We found statistically significant trends of increasing incidence over time in the oldest age group (over 65years of age) for meningiomas in women, and for malignant gliomas for both sexes. The observed distribution and proportion of intracranial tumors are predominantly in accordance with the recent European, North American, and Japanese reported studies.
