“…To our knowledge, there have been 96 carcinoma‐to‐meningioma reported to date. They were from breast (52), lung (14), genitourinary tract (6), lymphoma (4), kidney (7), prostate (5), gall bladder (1), melanoma (2), thyroid (1), stomach (1), colon (1), colorectal (1) and parotid (1) . Many theories have been proposed to explain the propensity of metastasis to meningioma, including its indolent growth, low metabolic rate, high collagen, lipid content, and rich vascularity, or even hormonal factors .…”

Tumor‐to‐tumor metastasis from pituitary carcinoma to radiation‐induced meningioma

et al. 2012

Radiation-induced meningioma and pituitary carcinoma are both uncommon. Tumor-to-tumor metastasis (TTM) from pituitary carcinoma to meningioma, to our knowledge, has not been previously reported. A 67-year old man presented with a previous history of transcranial subtotal resection of pituitary adenoma, at the age of 36, followed by radiotherapy. The follow-up was uneventful for the following 31 years. The patient presented with worsening sight and numbness of the right arm. Three separate lesions were found on MRI. Histological examinations revealed pituitary carcinomas and TTM from pituitary carcinoma to meningioma. A constant surveillance is necessary for patients with pituitary tumor, especially those followed by radiotherapy.

“…Sir, Meningiomas and breast carcinomas share an unusual relationship: Both tumors occur in women in the 6 th and 7 th decade; both types of tumors may increase during pregnancy and may demonstrate positivity for estrogen and progesterone receptors. [1] They may occur simultaneously in the same patient, contiguous occurrence of a metastatic breast carcinoma and a meningioma and tumor to tumor metastases of breast carcinoma metastases to a meningioma have all been reported. [1] Further, the metastatic breast carcinoma may be located in any one of the 3 locations: Within the meningioma, in the adjacent brain parenchyma or in a remote location.…”
