Introduction: The therapeutic management of brain tumors is based on accurate knowledge of their size, anatomic location in the cranial fossa and
the histologic type with specialized CT and MRI techniques the exact location and extent of tumorile spatial delienation can be well marked, however the exact nature of lesion can only be ascertained by the microscopic examination of the lesion.Aims:To study the crush cytology of brain
tumors and give provisional or tentative diagnosis about the nature of lesion and to correlate the cytologic appearance of brain tumors with their histopathological appearance. Material and method: Patients suffering from any form of brain tumor (primary or secondary) of any age and sex
were included in this prospective study comprising of 50cases, admitted in the neuro surgery department of MDM hospital associated to Dr. S.N. Medical College, Jodhpur. Findings of neurologic examination, CT scan reports and other relevant investigations like haemoglobin, TLC, DLC,
ESR, blood sugar, blood urea, and complete urine examination, were taken into account. Result: As is clear the above table depicting the incidence of various brain tumors. Astrocytomas were the commonest type of tumors (38%) case in the study followed by meningiomas (32%) case and
medulloblastoma (10%). Case of schwanomma (12%) included the spinal forms also. Conclusion: The crush smear /squash preparation technique is a very useful and suitable method for the rapid intraoperative diagnosis of brain tumours. It has the advantages of being simple, easy and cost
effective. With increasing experience, of the pathologist in this technique the interpretation of smears becomes more easy and accurate. It can be a valuable aid, as means of presumptive diagnosis of brain tumours and can supplement the histological sections in difcult cases to conrm or refute
a particular diagnosis.
