“…The observation has been made that patients who receive cranial irradiation for a single brain neoplasm are at higher risk for the development of a second tumor at a later date. 7 Our patient, however, has no stigma or family history of phakomatoses, trauma, or irradiation. 7 The advent of neuroimaging is thought to be responsible for factitiously increasing the incidence of multiple brain tumors by the increased presence of a surveillance artifact.…”

“…6,7 In the series conducted by Deen and Laws 6 the second tumor was most frequently detected at the time of surgery. It may be diagnosed or suspected preoperatively, intraoperatively, or detected months or even years after the treatment of the first lesion or even during a postmortem examination.…”

“…These lesions can be of the same histological type: multifocal gli- omas account for approximately 2.4% of all cases of glioma 2 and multiple meningiomas, schwannomas, ependymomas, 16 teratomas, 23 and hemangioblastomas 19 have also been described. 7 In this review, we report the first case in which an oligodendroglioma and a JPA presented as synchronous primary brain tumors. 4,6,[8][9][10][11]13,17,18,20,22,24,27 Reported combinations of multiple primary intracranial tumors are summarized in Table 1.…”

Multiple metastatic brain tumors and multifocal primary brain tumors of a single histological type are well described in the literature. The concurrent presence of multiple primary brain tumors with different histological characteristics, however, is very rare. The authors describe the first known case in which an oligodendroglioma and a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma (JPA) presented as synchronous primary brain tumors in the same patient. This 43-year-old man presented with a 2-month history of progressive headaches, nausea, and vomiting. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an enhancing heterogeneous right medial cerebellar lesion and a larger calcified, nonenhancing, heterogeneous right frontal lesion with surrounding edema and a mass effect. The results of a metastatic workup were unremarkable. The patient underwent an initial right frontotemporal craniotomy and a subsequent suboccipital craniectomy 2 years later for resection of the posterior fossa lesion. Histological examination revealed the frontal and cerebellar lesions to be an oligodendroglioma and JPA, respectively. A molecular analysis detected a deletion of chromosome 1p36 in the oligodendroglioma, but not in the JPA. After the initial operation, the patient received follow-up care for his oligodendroglioma, but eventually required temozolomide for tumor progression. His condition remains stable both neurologically and according to imaging studies. The authors describe the first known case in which a low-grade oligodendroglioma and a JPA presented as synchronous primary brain tumors. They review the literature on multiple primary brain tumors with different histological characteristics and discuss potential mechanisms for the development of these lesions.

“…Esta asociación supone menos del 1% de todos los tumores cerebrales primarios y en la mayoría de los casos los tumores implicados son dos, habitualmente de estirpe glial y meníngea 1,2,9 . La asociación de tres tumores primarios es prácticamente anecdótica, con menos de diez casos confirmados histológicamente publicados en la literatura 4,5 .…”

Background:Multiple, primary brain tumors with different histological types occurring in the same patient are extremely rare. Several hypotheses have been proposed, and the pathophysiology of coexisting tumors has long been debated; however, due to low incidence, standard practices for this scenario are still inconclusive.Case Description:The authors describe 6 cases of coexisting tumors. By conducting a literature research focused on the computed tomography (CT) era and patients without prior radiation or phakomatosis. Sixty-five such reported cases were identified. In addition, the authors summarize their experience in 6 patients including histopathological features, chronological presentations, outcomes, mortality, and management from their series as well as from previous cases from the reported literature.Conclusion:The coexistence of multiple, primary brain tumors is an interesting condition. Surgical management remains the major treatment; malignant histology has a poor prognostic factor.
