Two primary brain tumors in one child

Bernard L. Maria, MD, Lewis C. Strauss, MD and Moody D. Wharam, MD

Departments of Neurology (Dr. Maria), Oncology (Dr. Strauss), and Radiation Oncology (Dr. Wharam), The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.

We studied a 4-year-old boy with symptoms and signs of a posterior fossa tumor. CT showed two separate intracranial tumors: a fourth ventricle choroid plexus papilloma and a frontal subependymal giant-cell astro-cytoma. This case emphasizes that, even in the absence of special genetic predisposition to CNS tumors, two separate intracranial masses may not represent CSF metastasis of a single primary tumor.

Accepted for publication April 18, 1985.
