Immunostaining patterns of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), S-100 protein (S-100p) and vimentin were studied using immunohistochemical techniques on 48 paraffin embedded glial tumors. GFAP was positive in all tumor cases except in two oligodendrogliomas. S-100p was found in most astroglial tu
## Abstract A retrospective study of 366 primary brain tumours in childhood has been carried out. GFAP was detected in juvenile astrocytoma (76/121), adult astrocytoma (34/78), malignant glioma (0/8), other astrocytic tumours (2/4) and medulloblastoma (0/101). In eight medulloblastomas scanty posit
