Intracranial Meningeal Melanocytoma mimicking Meningioma`
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Primary melanotic neoplasms involving the central nervous system are extremely rare. Radiographically, it may be indistinguishable from intracranial meningioma. Here, we present a 52-years-old male, histopathologically-diagnosed as having posterior fossa meningeal melanocytoma with extension into the upper cervical area, who underwent successful radical surgery and postoperative radiotherapy. Details of the intraoperative and histopathological findings, imaging characteristics and clinical features are also described in correlation with literature research.
