  • Title: Coexisting intracranial meningeal melanocytoma, dermoid tumor, and Dandy-Walker cyst in a patient with neurocutaneous melanosis. Case report.
    Author: Kang SG, Yoo DS, Cho KS, Kim DS, Chang ED, Huh PW, Kim MC.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 2006 Mar; 104(3):444-7. PubMed ID: 16572661.
    Abstract:
    Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) associated with Dandy-Walker malformation is a very rare congenital neurodysplasia with the same origin. Primary intracranial melanocytic and dermoid tumors are also benign congenital lesions that usually arise from the leptomeninges and are formed by the inclusion of cutaneous ectoderm at the time of neural tube closure. The authors describe a patient with coexisting intracranial meningeal melanocytoma, NCM with Dandy-Walker malformation, and intraventricular dermoid tumor.
