Abstract

Meningiomas from 10 patients were studied for the presence of sex hormone receptors. No meningioma was found to have estrogen receptors, while 4 had no receptors. The presence of progesterone receptors was independent of the age or sex of the patient, whereas androgen receptors were found only in postmenopausal women. The possible relationship between the epidemiological characteristics of meningiomas and the presence of sex hormone receptors is discussed.
