Two cases of radiation-induced meningiomas following therapeutic irradiation given for primary diagnosed malignant brain tumor are presented. The meningiomas, histologically different from the initial brain tumor, appeared 15 and 21 years after high-dose brain irradiation. The possible risk of carcinogenesis within the CNS resulted from therapeutic cranial irradiation is stressed.
