Association of Carcinoma of the Breast and Meningioma: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

Meme kanserinde menenjiom görülme riski 1.57-1.90 kat daha fazladır. Meme kanseri akciğer kanserinden sonra ikinci sıklıkta beyine metastaz yapan tümördür. Bundan dolayı, menenjiomun metastaz ile ayırt edilmesi önemlidir. Bu iki hastalık hormona duyarlı olmasından dolayı birlikte görülebileceğinden takip yaparken diğeri ile karşılaşabileceği düşünülmelidir. Bu yazıda, meme kanseri tanısı ile takip edilen hastada gelişen menenjiomun meme kanseri ile olası ilişkisi incelendi.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

Meme kanseri, menenjiom, beyin metastazı.

Meme Kanseri ve Menenjiom İlişkisi: Olgu Sunumu ve Literatürün Gözden Geçirilmesi

The incidence of meningioma shows a recent increase in patients with breast cancer. The increased risk of developing meningioma was reported to be 1.57-1.90 times after breast cancer. Carcinoma of the breast is the second most common cause of intracranial metastases (after carcinoma of the lung). It is therefore important to differentiate a solitary brain metastasis from a meningioma. A review of the literature was presented with emphasis on the association between breast cancer and meningioma, which indicates a possible hormonal relationship. In this paper we report a case of meningioma which subsequently developed in a patient with primary breast carcinoma.

Keywords:

Breast cancer, menengioma, cranial metastases.,
