Glioblastoma occurring after radiation therapy for meningioma: case report and review of literature.
A 32-year-old man developed an intracranial glioblastoma multiforme 10 years after irradiation for an incompletely resected convexity meningioma. The association of these two tumors is exceedingly rare. Therefore, we propose that this is a case of radiation-induced glioma and review the evidence supporting this view.
