چکیده مقاله:

Recently, Basic and Clinical Neuroscience published an article by Lim et al. (2016)  entitled Co-occurence of Pituitary Adenoma with Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas. They claimed it as the first case of co-occurence of these two malignancies. However, to our knowledge, this is not the first case reported in this regard. We reported the same case scenario in a 61-year-old woman referred to our outpatient clinic in 2007. In this commentary, we are going to discuss our reported case and present a brief  review over co-occurence of intracranial meningioma with pituitary adenoma.

Case Report: Co-Occurrence of Pituitary Adenoma with Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas

Introduction: The co-existence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma is extremely rare. It is even rarer in patients with no previous known risk factors for either tumour. Here, we present a case of synchronous non-functioning pituitary adenoma with suprasellar and olfactory groove meningiomas in a patient without previous irradiation. Methods: The tumours were diagnosed on MRI in the 65-year-ol...

CASE A 56-year-old male patient was admitted to t...

Olfactory groove meningiomas: surgical technique and follow-up review.

BACKGROUND Olfactory groove meningiomas comprise 4-10% of the intracranial meningiomas. Generally they give signs of brain compression due to great size they reach before diagnosis. In this study, the clinical outcome of patients with olfactory groove meningiomas surgically treated was analyzed. METHOD 17 patients operated on from 1988-2006. Female: 16, Male: 1. Age: 19-76 years-old (mean=53....
