Nine patients with diagnosed breast cancer who developed meningiomas are reported. Articles suggesting that an association of these two tumors is possible. Some authors have noted hormonal sensitivity and the presence of hormonal receptors in some meningiomas. Since breast cancer is the most common tumor in women, an association between it and meningiomas might be fortuitous. However, it is important to fully investigate brain lesions in patients with breast cancer so that potentially curable meningiomas are not considered as metastases.
报告了9例确诊为乳腺癌且发生脑膜瘤的患者。有文章表明这两种肿瘤可能存在关联。一些作者已注意到某些脑膜瘤存在激素敏感性及激素受体。由于乳腺癌是女性最常见的肿瘤，它与脑膜瘤之间的关联可能是偶然的。然而，对乳腺癌患者的脑部病变进行全面检查很重要，这样可避免将潜在可治愈的脑膜瘤误诊为转移瘤。
