Description Patients with meningiomas may harbor other intracranial or intraspinal tumors. A combination is most often seen in patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1), in whom meningiomas may be associated with acoustic neuromas, neurofibromas, and gliomas. In addition, individual patients without neurofibromatosis may have meningiomas and gliomas, pituitary adenomas, and other less common tumors. Russell and Rubinstein believed that most of these cases represent the coincidental occurrence of two unrelated tumors in the same patient, and we agree that in most instances this seems to be the case.
