The malignant brain neoplasm is the cerebral tumor constituted by primitives cells with neuronal and glial diferentiation. Objective: To evaluate the profile of hospitalizations due to malignant brain neoplasm registered in Brazil among 2017 and 2020. Methods: We performed a cross secctional study from public health system database of hospitalar morbity related to hospitalizations by year and federative unit among 2017 and 2020. Results: In the period from 2017 to 2020, Brazil registered a total of 58.177 admissions for Malignant Neoplasm of the Brain. The Southeast region had highest rate of hospitalizations in that time interval, with a total of 25,266 cases (highest rate was 2019, with 6.636 cases). South region was the second place, with 13.738 hospitalizations (highest rate was 2020, with 3.613 cases). Third, Northeast region with 11,197 hospitalizations (the highest rate was 2018, with 2,837 hospitalizations). Fourth, the Central-West region, where 5.586 were hospitalizaed (with highest number of hospitalizations in 2018, 1.469 cases). The North region has the lowest incidence, with 2,390 hospitalizations (highest rate was 2019, with 665 hospitalizations). In relation to the total result of hospitalizations, the year 2019 has the highest rate of hospitalizations (n = 14.966) and the year 2020 the lowest rate (n = 14.235). Conclusion: The Southeast region had the highest rates of hospitalizations due to malignant brain câncer and the year of 2019 had the higher prevalence of hospitalized.
