AB  - Over  100  types  of  primary  brain  tumor  are  defined  by  the  World  Health  Organization  (WHO),  the  most  commonly  accepted  classification  system  (1).  Only  a  few  entities  account  for  the  bulk  of  the  incidence  while  the  others  are  rare.  The  incidence  rate  of  all  primary  central  nervous  system  (CNS)  tumors  in  the  United  States  (U.S.)  is  19.3  cases  per  100,000  person-years  (2).  An  estimated  64,530  primary  CNS  tumors  were  diagnosed  in  the  United  States  in  2011.  Approximately  24,070  of  these  tumors  were  malignant  and  this  subgroup  represented  1.46%  of  all  malignant  cancers  diagnosed  in  the  United  States  (2,  3).
