Abstract
The majority of neuropathology lesions submitted for frozen section end up representing tumors. We often approach these cases somewhat biased in thinking that we are likely to be dealing with a neoplasm. Consequently, we may be caught off guard by a nonneoplastic process. Additionally, our experience with nonneoplastic lesions in the central nervous system is generally not as extensive as with tumors.
