ABSTRACT
We present the cytologic aspects of 137 tumors operated by neurosurgeons, including 12 astrocytomas, 4 anaplastic astrocytomas, 26 glioblastomas, 7 oligodendrogliomas, 5 medulloblastomas, 8 schwannomas, 17 meningiomas, 13 pituitary adenomas, 20 metastatic tumors and 18 assorted tumors and nonneoplastic lesions. We have also analysed cytologically samples of normal nervous tissue obtained from autopsies, aiming at its recognition and distinction from the neoplastic tissue in biopsies. The tumors were analysed in smears which were subsequently compared with the histological sections. Although it is important to observe cytological details in the tumor, occasionally cells are arranged in such a way, that an overview of the smear practically allows the diagnosis of the tumor.
