Unusual occurrence of avascular necrosis with bilateral involvement and ankylosing spondylitis, meningioma and Hodgkin lymphoma.

This case report aimed to reveal the multidisciplinary aspect and discuss an association of disorders in a complex case with Hodgkin disease, meningioma, avascular necrosis with bilateral involvement and ankylosing spondylitis. We report the case of a 47-year-old patient, diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma at the age of 14. Two decades later, she was diagnosed with frontal chordoid meningioma, which was surgically removed, without radiotherapy. She was re-operated 10 years later for recurrence of meningioma. At the age of 39, she was diagnosed with bilateral avascular necrosis of the humeral head, femoral head and scaphoid bones. In the same year, she was also diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. We considered that the occurrence of rare chordoid meningioma, avascular necrosis with multiple locations and bilateral involvement in a patient with a malignancy during childhood and an autoimmune disease was unusual and there may be some common pathways.
