  • Title: Meningioma and cavernous angioma following childhood radiotherapy.
    Author: Baheti AD, Mahore AS, Zade BP, Jalali R.
    Journal: J Cancer Res Ther; 2010; 6(3):333-5. PubMed ID: 21119268.
    Abstract:
    Prophylactic cranial irradiation has been a part of multimodality management of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). With optimum treatment and the resultant long-term cure rates, long-term side effects of radiation including radiation-induced neoplasms have been increasingly unearthed. We report a rare case of development of both a meningioma and a cavernous angioma following prophylactic cranial irradiation as a part of treatment of ALL. Regular follow-up and high index of suspicion for late radiation sequelae after treatment are therefore justifiable in leukemia survivors with history of prophylactic cranial irradiation.
