| Resumen en inglés | Central nervous system (CNS) tumors are a group of neoplasms that originate from various cells in the CNS. The increasing incidence and prevalence of this type of tumor in developing countries are striking; however, there are few current studies in Latin America including Mexico estimating the impact of these pathological entities on the general population. Objective: The objective of the study was to study the characteristics of primary CNS tumors over a period of 52 years. Methods: A review of records from patients with a histopathological diagnosis of CNS neoplasm over a period of 52 years was conducted at a tertiary-care academic medical center. Patients were grouped by sex, age, and the tumor’s anatomical location. Results: A sample of 9615 patients with tumor lesions was obtained; 51% were female, 49% were male, and their mean age was 42 years. The tumors with the highest prevalence were neuroepithelial tumors (38.6%), followed by meningeal tumors (22.8%). Neuroepithelial tumors accounted for 64% in the group of patients under 40 years of age and 56% among those above 40 years of age. The most frequently involved location was supratentorial, in 78.9% of cases. Conclusions: Although retrospective in nature and based on a small sample, this study reports the epidemiology and characteristics of primary brain tumors in the Mexican population |
