Regression of Multiple Intracranial Meningiomas With Cessation of Progesterone Agonist Therapy: A Case Report

停用孕激素激动剂治疗后多发性颅内脑膜瘤消退:病例报告

阅读:1

Abstract

In this case report, we discuss a patient who experienced spontaneous regression of multiple intracranial meningiomas that were treated conservatively for 5 years after cessation of megestrol acetate, an exogenous progestin. In addition, we discuss the previous literature describing the relationship between exogenous progesterone medications and meningioma growth. This case, along with others reported, implies that cessation of progesterone therapy, when feasible, may alter the natural history of meningioma growth and thus impact treatment decisions.
