Radiation-induced meningioma evaluated with positron emission tomography with fludeoxyglucose F 18.
We describe a patient with radiation-induced meningioma 12 years after cranial irradiation for ectopic germinoma. PET scans with fludeoxyglucose F 18 showed a high glucose metabolic rate in the meningioma despite a benign histologic appearance.
