      In this article the authors deal with the morphology of primary tumors of the central nervous system and its coverings. The discussion includes astrocytoma variants/glioblastoma, ependymoma and its variants, subependymoma, choroid plexus papilloma and carcinoma, embryonal CNS tumors, neuronal neoplasms, meningioma, dural hemangiopericytoma (angioblastic mengioma), and hemangioblastoma.
