Abstract

The
simultaneous occurrence of meningioma and glioma is extremely rare. Diagnosis
may be difficult due to discrepancy between the clinical and radiological
findings. Although several aetiopathogenetic hypotheses have been suggested for
explaining this curious association, they are evaluated as two different
primary brain tumours occurred randomly in the same patient. In this study a
case of coincidental glioblastoma multiforme and meningioma which was diagnosed
histopathologically after surgical, resection was presented because of its
rarity.

İntrakranyal Meningioma- Glioblastoma Multiforme Birlikteliği

Abstract

Serebral
meningiomların gliomlarla simultane birlikteliği oldukça ender olarak görülmektedir.
Klinik ve radyolojik  bulguların uyumsuz
olması dolayısıyla tanı güç olabilir. Bu ilginç birlikteliği açıklamak için birçok
etyogenetik hipotez ileri sürülmüşse de rastlantısal koinsidans gösteren farklı
iki primer beyin tümörü olarak değerlendirilmektedirler. Bu çalışmamızda 64 yaşında
kadın hastada tanısı, cerrahi rezeksiyon materyalinin histopatolojik
incelenmesi sonucu konulabilen psammomatöz menengiom ve glioblastoma multiforme
birlikteliği olgusunu ender görülmesi dolayısıyla bildiriyoruz.
