title: [Trauma and tumor: malignant glioma in the area of a traumatic lesion of the brain with metal scales].
abstract: Report of a 75 year-old male who sustained severe head injury by shell splinters during the second world war. 38 years later he died due to a malignant glioma which was localized exactly in the left and right frontal areas damaged by the shell. Multiple metal scales were still localized within these areas and the glioma. The reasons for the presumption of a causal relation between the trauma and the tumor will be discussed.
