Abstract:
We report a case of triple primary intracranial tumors of different histologic types: meningioma, astrocytoma, and pituitary adenoma. Von Recklinghausen's disease or other etiologic factors supposedly associated with multiple primary brain tumors were not recognized in this 64-year-old female patient. Triple primary brain tumors with no association of von Recklinghausen's disease are rare--there is only one reported case with histologic studies.
