Abstract
✓ Two patients are reported who had intracerebral mass lesions composed of hemangioma and glial neoplasm. After excision, one recurred as an oligodendroglioma, and the remnant of the other remained static over a 5-year period. These lesions may represent a subgroup of cerebral hemangiomas that have the biological potential for future glial neoplastic growth. Reference is made to experimental work with polyoma virus which can induce cavernous hemangiomas in the central nervous system in mice, and which is a papovavirus. Other papovaviruses can induce ependymomas in hamsters.
