ABSTRACT
The clinical presentation of neoplasms of the nervous system is nonspecific and entirely location dependent. However, certain syndromes exist, recognition of which, in combination with neuroimaging data, laboratory evaluations, and histopathology is crucial in establishing a specific diagnosis and developing a treatment plan. This chapter does not intend to provide a full account of topical diagnoses in neurooncology, but rather focuses on peculiar presentations of cancer patients and points out similarities to and distinction from respective syndromes in noncancer patients.
