of much tumors aerated at our institution. Particular tending was paying to their spreading pattern, pick of preoperative approach,
and outcome. Twenty-five patients were operated consecutively over a punctuation of 19 years. Their clinical presentation, radiological
features, preoperative treatment, primeval and New communication outcome, as substantially as activity evaluate were analyzed. The most frequent
