Radiation-induced meningioma following radiation therapy for pituitary adenoma: a case report
It is well known that ionozing radiation has an onco-genetic activity and has been implicated in the causation of brain tumors. However, when a new growth appears adjacent to the site of previous tumor, the diagnosis is more toward recurrence. In addition to that, the possible cause might be overloo...

We report a case of radiation-induced meningioma developed 20 years after the patient received radiotherapy for pituitary adenoma. |
