| Abstract: | Meningiomas have been reported following radiation of the head, usually with a long latent interval between exposure and the diagnosis of the new tumor. We report a benign meningioma resected approximately 3 1/2 years after radiation therapy for a glioma, which represents an unusually short latent interval between radiation and new tumor growth. |
