There are no relevant reports at present.Patient ConcernsWe report a patient who developed cervical cancer (CC) and intracranial meningioma simultaneously after the course of GBS.DiagnosesThe history, pelvic enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and pathology confirmed cervical squamous cell carcinoma, and the head enhanced MRI confirmed meningioma.InterventionAfter multi-disciplinary team, the patient received head stereotactic radiosurgery for meningioma and radical radiotherapy for CC.OutcomesThe follow up for 1 year after treatment revealed a complete remission of the cervical tumor, stable disease of the meningioma, and no signs of GBS recurrence.
