First case of cyproterone acetate induced multiple meningiomas in identical female twins: a case report

We report a case of identical twin sisters who developed multiple, atypically located meningiomas in the setting of long-term CPA use. Eighteen-month follow-up showed spontaneous decrease of meningiomas after cessation of CPA. This case illustrates CPA's ability to induce development of atypically located meningiomas that differ even between identical twins, confirms benefit of surgical abstention, and raises questions regarding security of use of CPA.PMID:33989640 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2021.04.021
