This is a case of intracranial sarcoma which was recognized 23 years after irradiation therapy for pituitary adenoma. Four operations were performed because of recurrences with a short interval between each operation. Immunohistochemically, the tumour cells were stained for smooth muscle actin, human muscle actin and vimentin. It was verified as a leiomyosarcoma. This report is the first case of intracranial leiomyosarcoma associated with radiation therapy in pituitary adenoma.
这是一例颅内肉瘤病例，该病例在垂体腺瘤接受放射治疗23年后被发现。因肿瘤复发且每次手术间隔时间短，共进行了四次手术。免疫组织化学检查显示，肿瘤细胞平滑肌肌动蛋白、人肌动蛋白和波形蛋白染色阳性。经证实为平滑肌肉瘤。本报告是首例与垂体腺瘤放射治疗相关的颅内平滑肌肉瘤病例。
