Hemorrhage is more likely with some types of brain tumor such as metastatic tumor, glioblastoma, or oligodendroglioma. The incidence of hemorrhage due to intracranial neoplasm ranges from 0.9 to 14.6%. We are to know their clinical features. Brain tumors associated hemorrhage were confirmed pathologically in 41 of 781 cases, and retrospective analysis was conducted about their incidence, histology, clinical symptoms and signs, type of hemorrhage and postoperative outcome. Hemorrhage rate for brain tumors was 5.2%(41/781). The highest rate for primary brain tumor was 14.4% for glioblastoma, while the second hemorrhage rate was 13.7% for metastatic tumor. The most common symptoms were headache and hemiparesis. Six cases had acute presentation. The proper neuroradiological and clinical work-up is important in patients with suspected tumor related intracerebral hemorrhage.
