Postoperative and/or postirradiation effects may contribute to the rare development of intracerebral malignant fibrous histiocytoma at the site of a previously clipped aneurysm.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Single case of post-clipping histiocytoma is hypothesis-generating; leaves open causality and need for surveillance.
A 50-year-old woman developed an intracerebral malignant fibrous histiocytoma at the site of a previously clipped aneurysm in the right temporal lobe. This tumor rarely originates within the brain. Review of the literature suggests that postoperative and/or postirradiation effects may contribute to the growth of this particular tumor.
