ABSTRACT
In the majority of cases, the correct treatment of brain lesions is possible only when the histopathologrcal diagnosis is made. Several deep-seated lesions are not safely approached by the classical neurosurgical procedures. These patients can get benefit by a minimally invasive procedure. We present a series of 28 consecutive patients submitted to Stereotactic biopsies due to a great variety of brain lesions. Histological diagnosis found in this series Neoplasm was the most common diagnosis, representing [57.1%] of cases, [35.7%] of them were classified as glioma, [21.4%] of them as secondary metastases. [21.4%] of cases had their lesions classified as probable inflammatory or infection, [14.2%] of them diagnosed as tuberculomas and [7.1%] as non specific infection.[21.4%] ofpatient [=6 patients] had their lesions classified as others, 2 of them as reactional gliosis and 2 as necrosis and 2 as no abnormal histopathology
