Primary cerebral melanoma: An exceptional localization in a case report

2024Open accessMohamed I University

Abstract

Cerebral melanoma is often related to a secondary location of a cutaneous or mucosal melanoma. However, primary cerebral melanoma is a very rare clinical situation, representing less than 1% of all melanomas and 0.07% of all cerebral tumors. The diagnosis of a primary cerebral melanoma therefore requires rigorous clinical and paraclinical investigations. We report a case of primary cerebral melanoma treated in our onco-radiotherapy department.
