“…It is sometimes confused with a collision tumor, which possesses similar characteristics as TTM. It is crucial to differentiate TTM from a collision tumor, which refers to the presence of two histologically distinct tumors within an anatomic location with infiltration of the tumors into one another [ 5 6 7 ]. Syed et al [ 7 ] reported that understanding the distinction between a collision tumor and TTM is necessary to plan the surgical approach and management.…”

Tumor-to-tumor metastasis (TTM) is defined as the hematogenous metastasis within a primary host tumor from a donor neoplasm. Since there is insufficient evidence regarding the pathophysiology, clinical course, and management of TTM, there are no precise guidelines for its management. A 73-year-old female patient diagnosed with breast cancer was found to have convexity meningioma. Since the size of tumor and peritumoral brain edema increased during follow-up period, the meningioma was treated with surgical resection. Postoperatively, histopathologic examination confirmed metastasis of invasive ductal carcinoma within a secretory meningioma. The final diagnosis was TTM of breast cancer in meningioma. Here, we report a rare case of intra-meningioma metastasis and a review of literature to provide a better understanding of this rare phenomenon.

“…Glioblastoma is the most common primary malignant brain tumour in adults and meningioma is the most common benign brain tumour but the coincidence so called "collision" of these two distinct types of tumour occurrence in the same location is extremely rare [2,13,15,24]. The term "collision" has been used for the cases in which two tumours are being intermixed or appear close to each other.…”

“…Gliomas and meningio-mas are the most common frequently reported combination of collision tumours in adults [1,3,4,6,11-13, 17,18,20,21,23-27,31,32]. In the literature, less than 20 cases of such collision tumours were reported [1,3,6,11,13,17,18,21,[23][24][25][26][27]31,32]. Table I summarizes the clinical characteristics of collision tumours consisting of a meningioma and high-grade glioma.…”

“…Collision tumours consisting of meningioma and GB in a patient without prior radiation therapy or family tumour history are extremely rare. In the literature, less than 20 cases of such collision tumours have been reported [1,3,6,[11][12][13]17,18,20,21,[23][24][25][26][27][30][31][32]. The pathogenesis of concurrent or collision brain tumours remains unknown [25].…”

Intracranial collision tumours are rare pathologies in which two distinct neoplasms are found in the same location. We present an unusual case of an intracranial collision tumour composed of meningothelial meningioma (CNS WHO G1) and glioblastoma (IDH-wildtype, CNS WHO G4). This collision tumour was found in a 64-year-old man. This patient was hospitalized urgently due to left-sided hemiparesis. The computed tomography (CT) revealed large multilobar intracranial haemorrhage located in the right hemisphere. The history of hypertension and obesity pointed to the misdiagnosis of a typical haemorrhagic stroke. Despite extensive physiotherapy after initial improvement, the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed signs of a marginal contrast enhancement with a suspicion of a brain tumour. Moreover, the meningioma in the same location was suspected. The neuropathological findings confirmed two neoplasms with fragments of the dura mater infiltrated by malignant glioma cells and small nests of meningothelial cells with psammoma bodies. The presented case is extremely rare showing that more malignant tumour may infiltrate a meningioma. Moreover, this case highlights the clinical observation that glioblastoma may mimic a haemorrhagic stroke. In such cases when pharmacological treatment is not effective, suspicions should be raised about a possible underlying brain tumour.

“…En la actualidad, la patogénesis del tumor de colisión no es clara, sin embargo, se ha propuesto que este tumor se deriva de dos clones neoplásicos independientes en un órgano (3). Se han reportado tumores de colisión en varios órganos, como esófago, estómago, colon, pulmón, piel, glándula tiroides, mama, ovario y útero (4)(5)(6). El diagnóstico en general se basa en la histopatología e inmunohistoquímica, que definen las características de este tumor (2,4).…”

Objetivos: reportar el caso de una paciente con tumor de colisión del útero y realizar una revisión de la literatura respecto al diagnóstico histopatológico, tratamiento y pronóstico de esta condición. Materiales y métodos: mujer de 76 años que consultó al centro nacional de referencia del cáncer en Bogotá (Colombia), donde se hizo el diagnóstico de tumor de colisión del útero, compuesto por un adenocarcinoma de endometrio tipo seroso y adenosarcoma de cérvix. Recibió tratamiento quirúrgico más quimioterapia y radioterapia complementaria, falleció a los 16 meses. Se realizó una búsqueda de la literatura en las bases de datos Medline vía PubMed y Embase, que incluía reportes y series de caso de mujeres con diagnóstico de tumor de colisión del útero, y se extrajo información sobre el diagnóstico, tratamiento y pronóstico. Se realizó un resumen narrativo de los hallazgos. Resultados: la búsqueda identificó 36 títulos, de los cuales se incluyeron 14 estudios que incluían 17 pacientes. El diagnóstico histopatológico más frecuente fue el adenocarcinoma endometrioide de endometrio y sarcoma endometrial de alto y bajo grado (47 %). El tratamiento básico fue quirúrgico. Cerca del 50 % recibió tratamiento adyuvante con quimioterapia y radioterapia (15 %). La sobrevida a 1 año fue del 75 %. Conclusiones: en la literatura no se identificaron casos de tumores de colisión de útero con la histopatología y en la ubicación del caso presentado. La mortalidad a dos años es cercana al 28 % si se toma en cuenta el caso reportado. Se necesitan más estudios que describan la inmunohistoquímica, el tratamiento y el pronóstico de esta condición.
