Combined hormonal influence of cyproterone acetate and nomegestrol acetate on meningioma: a case report.
Acta Neurochirurgica 2019 January 23
Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is an antiandrogenic drug which has recently been recognized to promote the occurrence and growth of intracranial meningiomas. Nomegestrol acetate (NOMAC) is a widely used progestin-like drug that could be suggested as an alternative for patients taking CPA. We report a case of CPA-related meningioma for which relay from CPA to NOMAC led to further tumor growth and cessation of NOMAC-induced tumor shrinkage. We suggest NOMAC can have a similar effect than CPA on meningiomas. The use of NOMAC as replacement for CPA in the presence of a meningioma should be discouraged until further evidence becomes available on the role of NOMAC in such instances.
