Abstract

It is well known that radiation can induce meningiomas. These tumors usually arise in patients with a history of low-dose radiation to the scalp for treatment of tinea capitis or high-dose radiation for a previous brain tumor. Radiation-associated meningiomas (RAMs) morphologically resemble their spontaneously arising counterparts. However, RAMs frequently present a more malignant phenotype and, as such, are diagnosed as “atypical” or “aggressive” meningiomas and occur predominantly in younger patients. This paper describes six cases of radiation-associated intracranial meningiomas in patients previously treated with low-dose radiation to the scalp for tinea capitis.
