Abstract
A patient is reported who harbored multiple benign meningiomas 27 yr after radiation therapy for medulloblastoma. Cases (38) of meningiomas occurring after radiation are reviewed and analyzed. Statistical data from these cases support the concept of radiation-induced benign tumors.Keywords
