Magnetic resonance image (MRI) showing pituitary tumour. The majority of pituitary neoplasms are adenomas, which are divided into non-secreting and secreting forms. Hormone producing forms are further classified by the type of hormone they secrete. Pituitary adenomas may also be characterized by their staining properties. Pituitary tumours may compress adjacent structures, including the hypothalamus, several cranial nerves, and the optic chiasm. Chiasmal compression may result in bitemporal hemianopsia.

Magnetic resonance image (MRI), axial section, of 4-year-old child with grade II astrocytoma and epilepsy. See also N0014116-14117 Astrocytomas are neoplasms of the brain and spinal cord derived from glial cells which vary from histologically benign forms to highly anaplastic and malignant tumours. Fibrillary astrocytomas are the most common type and may be classified in order of increasing malignancy (grades I through IV). In the first two decades of life, astrocytomas tend to originate in the cerebellar hemispheres; in adults, they most frequently arise in the cerebrum and frequently undergo malignant transformation.

Axial magnetic resonance image (MRI) showing glioma in corpus callosum. Gliomas are benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes).

Pre-operative computed tomography (CT) scan of 44-year-old patient with malignant glioma. For post-treatment see N0009767. Gliomas are benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes).

CT scan; brain cancer (glioma), pre-treatment

CT scans of brain showing right temporal lobe glioma. These are benign and malignant central nervous system neoplasms derived from glial cells (i.e., astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymocytes).
