Glioblastoma following radiotherapy in a patient with tuberous sclerosis

Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 1998 May;38(5):287-91. doi: 10.2176/nmc.38.287.

Abstract

A 26-year-old male with tuberous sclerosis developed a glioblastoma in the right temporal lobe 8 years after surgical excision and irradiation of a subependymal giant cell astrocytoma. The glioblastoma was probably an irradiation-induced tumor. Irradiation should not be given routinely for subependymal giant cell astrocytoma.
