  • Title: Intracranial meningiomas following irradiation therapy for brain tumors.
    Author: Matyja E, Kroh H, Bojarski P.
    Journal: Folia Neuropathol; 1994; 32(4):253-4. PubMed ID: 7889341.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of radiation-induced meningiomas following therapeutic irradiation given for primary diagnosed malignant brain tumor are presented. The meningiomas, histologically different from the initial brain tumor, appeared 15 and 21 years after high-dose brain irradiation. The possible risk of carcinogenesis within the CNS resulted from therapeutic cranial irradiation is stressed.
