Meme Kanseri ve Menenjiom Ýliþkisi: 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.

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 fazladýr. Meme kanseri akciðer kanserinden sonra ikinci sýklýkta beyine metastaz yapan tümördür. Bundan dolayý, menenjiomun metastaz ile ayýrt edilmesi önemlidir. Bu iki hastalýk hormona duyarlý olmasýndan dolayý birlikte görülebileceðinden takip yaparken diðeri ile karþýlaþabileceði düþünülmelidir. Bu yazýda, meme kanseri tanýsý ile takip edilen hastada geliþen menenjiomun meme kanseri ile olasý iliþkisi incelendi.
