Neurosurg Focus. 1996 Jul 15;1(1):e8; discussion 1 p following e8. doi: 10.3171/foc.1996.1.1.12.

Abstract

The authors report the long-term result of treatment of a presumed pituitary adenoma with external-beam radiation therapy, which appears to be the development of a radiation-induced meningioma. Of the post radiation neoplasms that have been reported, meningiomas constitute a large proportion of these lesions.
