shows that out of 17 brain tumors meningioma is the most common followed by anaplastic astrocytoma, fibrillary astrocytoma,
pilocytic astrocytoma, glioblastoma, gemistocytic astrocytoma and astroblastoma. Out of 73 peripheral neuronal tumors
ganglioneuroma is found in highest number followed by schwannoma and lastly neurofibroma. Benign tumor is found in
88.89% and malignant tumor is found in 11.11% of the studied neuronal tumor. Benign neuronal tumor was found more in
female than male in both age group and was found highest in adult age group. Malignant neuronal tumor was found highest in
