It is well known that ionizing radiation has an onco-genetic activity and has been implicated in the causation
of brain tumors. However, when a new growth appears adjacent to the site of previous tumor, the diagnosis
is more toward recurrence. In addition to that, the possible cause might be overlooked, when it occurs many
years after radiation treatment. We report a case of radiation-induced meningioma developed 20 years after
the patient received radiotherapy for pituitary adenoma.
