Abstract

Objective: We report on a patient who developed a meningioma more than two decades after removal at a young age of an atypical teratoid/ rhabdoid tumour (AT/RT), which was due to a germline INI1 mutation, and radio- and chemotherapy. Materials and methods: We present genetic evidence that the meningioma is not a recurrence or metastasis of the AT/RT and not due to the INI1 mutation, but is a radiation-induced tumour. Conclusion: This is the first case illustrating that improved survival of young patients with an AT/RT after aggressive treatment may be gained at the cost of an increased risk for the development of radiation-induced, non-INI1-related tumours.
