The authors present a case of a 47 year-old woman admitted to Neurosurgical Clinic with diagnosis of left frontal lobe tumour. At operation, during removal of glioma of the frontal lobe, a parasagital meningioma, 3 cm in diameter, was found and removed. Both tumours were adjacent. Histopatologic examination revealed: grade 1 astrocytoma and fibroblastic meningioma. Some clinical and pathological problems associated with simultaneous occurrence of two tumours of various histologic origin are discussed.
