We report 2 cases of glioma in patients with ADPKD. One patient had a cystic lesion with contrast enhancement in the right temporal lobe as revealed by magnetic resonance imaging and an aneurysm in left sylvian fissure confirmed by computed tomography angiography. Subsequent histopathologic analysis of the resected enhancing lesion confirmed the diagnosis of glioblastoma (World Health Organization grade IV). The second patient was found to harbor a solid lesion in the right parietal lobe. This lesion also proved to be an astrocytoma (World Health Organization grade II).
These 2 independent cases of glioma suggest an unusual clinical manifestation of ADPKD. The potential association between ADPKD and glioma pathogenesis should be further explored.
