“…Since a single tumor with a heterogeneous component may be diagnosed as collision tumors by mistake, the final diagnosis is only made if there was no histological transition between the 2 histologies. Generally the occurrence of such a type is rare, even in adults [2,3,4,5]. However, we reported such a case in a child.…”

“…The simultaneous occurrence of meningioma and malignant glioma in the same patient and in the same anatomical location, particularly in patients without a history of phacomatosis or prior radiation therapy, is extremely rare [2,3,4,5]. A significant number of collision tumors occur in cases with phacomatosis [2].…”

“…Glioma may develop due to neoplastic transformation of the reactive glial cells surrounding a meningioma [3,4,5]. This process may be mediated by locally acting oncogenic factors.…”

Collision tumors or metastasis from an extracranial tumor to a primary brain neoplasm are rare but do occur. The majority involve metastases to meningiomas. This case presents the second documented collision of a systemic chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to a glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Lymphomas tend to coalesce in perivascular locations, and the characteristic vascularity of glioblastomas may present a very inviting milieu for lymphoma cells.

“…Another theory suggests that, astrocytoma may develop due to neoplastic transformation of the reactive glial cells surrounding a meningioma [1,15,16]. Juxtaposition of these diverse germinal origin tumors in the same patient suggests that one tumor may act as an irritating agent for the local proliferation and growth of the other.…”

Background: This research paper will discuss the surgical management and possible mechanisms, as well as enlighten other features which can explain meningioma and astrocytoma simultaneously occurrences including statistical coincidence, the role of common carcinogens, autocrine growth factors and their pathogenic correlations. Case presentation: We describe two patients with simultaneous presentation of meningioma with astrocytoma. A correct preoperative radiological diagnosis was made in both patients and their tumors were completely removed microscopically. Pathological examinations confirmed that one among them was meningioma and the other an anaplastic astrocytoma. We reviewed the studies carried out regarding meningioma associated with astrocytoma in China as well as in other countries. Conclusion: In the absence of phacomatosis or prior radiation therapy, the reason for the simultaneous occurrence of astrocytoma with meningioma is not clear, and these tumors could be merely a statistical coincidence. Careful preoperative radiological evaluation and surgical management is of great importance in these patients.
