Supratentorial neoplasms in the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, thalamus, and other structures above the tentorium cerebelli present significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. These challenges vary notably between adult and pediatric populations due to differences in tumor types, biological behavior, and patient management strategies.
