title: Dosimetric and cytogenetic studies of multiple radiation-induced meningiomas for a single patient.
abstract: No criteria are currently available to determine the spontaneous or radiation-induced origin of a malignant tumor occurring in a previously irradiated area. This study presents the dosimetric and cytogenetic analysis of meningiomas diagnosed in irradiated brain areas from a single patient and a discussion of the karyotypes of spontaneous meningiomas and radiation-induced tumors published in the literature.
