Two cases are reported in which a cerebral glioma developed after radiation therapy for a different primary tumor. The first case was a boy, who presented a right thalamic anaplastic astrocytoma 7 years after irradiation for a left temporal polymorphic cell sarcoma. The second case was a woman, with a right temporal anaplastic astrocytoma occurring 8 years after irradiation for a GH-secreting pituitary adenoma. Thirty-five other cases of radiation-associated cerebral gliomas had already been reported in the literature. The possible causal role of radiation therapy in inducing cerebral gliomas is discussed on the basis of these observations.
