A case of multiple radiation‐induced gliomas 24 years after radiation therapy against pituitary adenoma

We treated a case in which multiple astrocytomas of varying grades developed in the irradiation field 24 years after radiation therapy. Differentiation from radiation necrosis based on presurgical diagnostic imaging was difficult; therefore, we feel it is essential to aggressively pursue histologica...
