Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Till date there is no published multi-institutional data regarding the epidemiological profile of pediatric brain tumors in India.
AIM: The present retrospective study analyses the histological spectrum of pediatric age group brain tumors in seven tertiary care hospitals in India.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Data regarding frequencies of various primary brain tumors (diagnosed according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification), in 3936 pediatric patients (<18 yrs of age), was collected from seven tertiary care hospitals in India.
RESULTS: The most common primary pediatric brain tumors were astrocytic tumors (34.7%), followed by medulloblastoma and supratentorial primitive neuro-ectodermal tumors (22.4%), craniopharyngiomas (10.2%) and ependymal tumors (9.8%). The most common astrocytic tumor was pilocytic astrocytoma. In comparison to adults, oligodendrogliomas and lymphomas were rare in children.
CONCLUSIONS: Our study is the first such report on the histological spectrum of brain tumors in children in India. Except for a slightly higher frequency of craniopharyngiomas, the histological profile of pediatric brain tumors in India is similar to that reported in the Western literature.
