Abstract
- The occipital lobe is generally stated to be involved infrequently by tumor, and this is true to a degree not explained by its comparatively small size. The incidence of the occipital lobe tumor is 2-3% of the primary intracranial neoplasm, and gliomas and meningiomas are the prepondant types of those. The authors report two cases of occipital lobe tumor, with one gliolastoma multiforme and the other oligodendroblastoma.
