Co-existence of meningioma and breast carcinoma metastasis in the type of collision tumor is uncommon in the brain. A 65-year-old female with a history of breast carcinoma suffered from a mass in posterior fossa of brain. After a craniotomy, the pathological specimen showed a collision tumor with breast cancer metastasis and meningioma. In the clinical setting of previously vague diagnosis in imaging, craniotomy for removal of the mass is more recommended if conditions permit. Only the rare tumor is identified in pathology for further follow-up and research.
脑膜瘤和乳腺癌转移瘤共存于脑内的碰撞瘤并不常见。一名 65 岁女性,有乳腺癌病史,患有脑后部的肿块。开颅手术后,病理标本显示为乳腺癌转移和脑膜瘤的碰撞瘤。在影像学诊断不明确的临床情况下,如果条件允许,更推荐进行开颅手术切除肿块。只有罕见的肿瘤在病理中被识别出来,以便进一步随访和研究。
