Περίληψη:
We report a case of meningioma subsequently developed in a patient with
bilateral breast carcinoma, which was originally thought to be single
brain metastases. A brief review of the literature is presented with
emphasis on the unique association between the two neoplasms, which
suggests a possible hormonal relationship. The knowledge of this
association is important in the differential diagnosis of patients with
breast cancer who develop central nervous system manifestations.
