A variety of intracranial tumors exhibit different forms of calcification. Some lesions commonly show calcification while in some tumors, calcification is seen only in few number of cases. In this article these tumors are classified on the basis of frequency of calcification.

Commonly calcified tumors

central neurocytoma: punctuate calcification
choroid plexus papilloma: speckled calcification
ependymoma: coarse calcification
subependymoma
