All of the following are more common in females EXCEPT:

The pattern being tested is how sex distributes across different brain tumor types. Meningiomas, arising from the meninges, occur more commonly in females, a difference linked to hormonal factors and progesterone receptor expression in these tumors. Pituitary adenomas also show female predominance, especially prolactinomas, influenced by hormonal milieu and presentation patterns. Neuroepithelial tumors, such as gliomas and astrocytomas, on the other hand, have a higher incidence in males. That makes neuroepithelial tumors the exception to the “more common in females” trend.
