  • Title: [Radiation-induced meningioma. 3 cases].
    Author: Reynier Y, Guillermain P, Jazzar A, Vigouroux RP.
    Journal: Neurochirurgie; 1986; 32(2):135-9. PubMed ID: 3724943.
    Abstract:
    During the same year (1984), we have seen 3 cases of meningiomas following radiation therapy of the brain for previously diagnosed tumors. A causal relationship between irradiation and meningioma has been postulated. Nevertheless, the coincidental occurrence in same patient of two different histological lesions is possible. The neoplasms developed after irradiation are of mesenchymal origin; they are fibrosarcomas, osteogenic sarcomas and meningiomas.
