tumors do not begin in glial cells Gliomas
tumors begin in glial cells Primary Brain Tumors Tumors that begin in brain tissue are known as primary tumors of the brain. Primary brain tumors are named according to the type of cells or the part of the brain in which they begin. The most common primary brain tumors are gliomas. They begin in glial cells.

Rare tumor arises from cells that make the fatty substance that covers and protects nerves. These tumors usually occur in the cerebrum Ependymoma
tumor arises from cells that line the ventricles or the central canal of the spinal cord Brain stem glioma
tumor occurs in the lowest part of the brain Astrocytoma
tumor arises from star-shaped glial cells Pineal region tumor
rare brain tumor arises in or near the pineal gland Germ cell tumor
tumor arises from a germ cell. Most germ cell tumors that arise in the brain occur in people younger than 30 Craniopharyngioma
tumor grows at the base of the brain, near the pituitary gland Schwannoma
tumor arises from a Schwann cell. These cells line the nerve that controls balance and hearing. This nerve is in the inner ear Meningioma
tumor arises in the meninges Medulloblastoma
usually arises in the cerebellum. It is the most common brain tumor in children Brain Tumors
