Publication: Two Different Primary Tumors in the Same Brain-A Case Report and Review of the Literature
Abstract
Beyinde 2 farklı primer tümör görülme oranı düşüktür. Kliniğimize, 77 yaşında yetişkin bir erkek hasta baş ağrısı ve idrar kaçırma şikayetleri ile başvurdu. Radyolojik incelemelerde, farklı beyin loblarında yerleşimli 2 tümör tespit edildi. Hastanın genel sağlık durumu ve yaşından ötürü frontal lob yerleşimli kitleden stereotaktik biyopsi yapıldı. Histopatolojik tanı glioblastomla uyumlu geldi. Diğer rezeke edilmeyen, parietal lob yerleşimli kitlenin MR görüntüsüne dayalı tanısı benign meningiomaydı. Biyopsi sonrası hastaya radyo-kemoterapi tedavileri uygulandı. Bu yazıda, nadir çift primer beyin tümörünün klinik prezantasyonu mevcut literatür eşliğinde incelendi.
Double primary brain tumors are very rare. A 77-year-old man admitted to our clinic due to headache and urinary incontinence. After radiological evaluation, double tumors in different lobes were observed. Stereotactic biopsy from the frontal lesion was managed, because of the patient's age and poor medical status. Histopathological diagnosis was glioblastoma. The other unresected parietal tumor was benign meningioma depending on MR images. Post- operative radiotherapy and chemotherapy were given. In this case report, a rare entity of coexistent double tumors is discussed with thorough literature review.
