We report a case of meningioma subsequently developed in a patient with bilateral breast carcinoma, which was originally thought to be single brain metastases. A brief review of the literature is presented with emphasis on the unique association between the two neoplasms, which suggests a possible hormonal relationship. The knowledge of this association is important in the differential diagnosis of patients with breast cancer who develop central nervous system manifestations.
我们报告了一例双侧乳腺癌患者随后发生脑膜瘤的病例,该患者最初被认为是单一脑转移瘤。本文简要回顾了文献,重点强调了这两种肿瘤之间独特的关联,这提示了一种可能的激素关系。了解这种关联对于出现中枢神经系统表现的乳腺癌患者的鉴别诊断很重要。
