WHO classification of tumours of the central nervous system

[1] The books lists ICD-O codes, CNS WHO grades and describes epidemiological, clinical, macroscopic and histopathological features, among others.

The 5th WHO classification delineates distinct types of tumors, some of them being further divided into subtypes, rendering the former terms entity and variant obsolete.
