Abstract

A case of regression of a probable cerebral metastasis of a hypernephroma after nephrectomy and hormone therapy is presented. The patient subsequently developed a meningioma after therapy with medroxyprogesterone acetate. A relationship between meningioma growth and sex hormones has been documented, but little is known about the effect of hormone therapies on tumour growth.
