title: Intratumoral hemorrhage in a patient with malignant meningioma under anticoagulant therapy.
abstract: We report the case of an elderly woman with malignant meningioma and atrial fibrillation who started taking anticoagulants after an ischemic stroke and subsequently developed intratumoral hemorrhage. Further studies are required to confirm whether a particular anticoagulant agent is suitable for patients with brain tumor and atrial fibrillation.
