Abstract:
We treated a case in which multiple astrocytomas of varying grades developed in the irradiation field 24 years after radiation therapy. Differentiation from radiation necrosis based on presurgical diagnostic imaging was difficult; therefore, we feel it is essential to aggressively pursue histological diagnoses to select the optimal treatment method.
