A Unique Case of Primary Intracranial Melanoma

Asian J Neurosurg. 2018 Jan-Mar;13(1):168-171. doi: 10.4103/1793-5482.224832.

Abstract

Primary intracranial melanoma is an uncommon entity and only case reports have been published in the literature. We report a case of an elderly male who was operated with a preliminary diagnosis of meningioma, but it proved to be a histological surprise as it came out to be melanoma with no primary anywhere in the body.

Keywords: Central nervous system; melanocytes; melanoma.
