主要研究背景及目的

方法

On admission, the cerebral magnetic resonance images of the patient were normal, whereas the spinal magnetic resonance images showed scattered multifocal nodules mimicking neurofibromatosis. Surgical resection of the responsible lesions was scheduled. In addition to this case presentation, relevant previous reports were reviewed, and the challenging diagnosis, management, and prognosis of meningeal melanocytoma are discussed

结论

Clinicians should be alert to a potential aggressive clinical course of meningeal melanocytoma, despite its benign histopathological nature. Of particular note is multifocality and diffuse leptomeningeal hyperpigmentation, which may suggest a poor prognosis. A combined treatment including surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy should be considered, and long-term close follow-up is necessary.
