title: Glioma after cerebral hydatid disease.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The authors present the case of a 31-year-old man with a malignant glioma. He had been treated for cerebral hydatid as a child, and 22 years later he developed a glioma at the site of his previous disease.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Could chronic inflammatory change following intracranial hydatid disease have induced neoplastic transformation of glial cells?
