  • Title: [Primary amelanotic meningeal melanomatosis].
    Author: Schulz C, Waldeck S.
    Journal: Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr; 2012 Jul; 80(7):402-6. PubMed ID: 22450762.
    Abstract:
    Primary melanocytic lesions of the central nervous system are rare. The spread of melanoma cells primarily into the meningeal layers is referred to as meningeal melanomatosis. A few case reports about either intracranial or intraspinal primary meningeal melanoma were published in the past. The amelanotic variation of primary melanoma in the central nervous system is a very rare event and so far no cases of primary amelanotic meningeal melanomatosis have been described in the current literature. We present a case with combined multiple intracranial and intraspinal primary malignant amelanotic melanomas.
