Tumours of the nervous system of animals are not as rare as has been commonly believed. In dogs, especially the brachycephalic breeds, these tumours occur as frequently as in man. The tumours are grouped according to tissue of origin as follows: nerve cells, neuroepithelium, glia, peripheral nerves and nerve sheaths, meninges and vessels, the pineal and pituitary glands, and the craniopharyngeal duct. Tumours of the glia are relatively common and are divided into the following types: astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, glioblastoma, spongioblastoma, medulloblastoma, and unclassified gliomas.
动物神经系统肿瘤并不像人们普遍认为的那样罕见。在狗身上，尤其是短头品种，这些肿瘤的发生率与人类相当。肿瘤根据起源组织分类如下：神经细胞、神经上皮、神经胶质、周围神经和神经鞘、脑膜和血管、松果体和垂体，以及颅咽管。神经胶质肿瘤相对常见，可分为以下类型：星形细胞瘤、少突胶质细胞瘤、胶质母细胞瘤、海绵状母细胞瘤、髓母细胞瘤和未分类的胶质瘤。
