Abstract
GONZALEZ-TORTOSA, J.; FERRI-NIGUEZ, B. and ROS DE SAN PEDRO, J.. Cerebellopontine angle meningeal melanocytoma: a benign tumor?. Neurocirugía [online]. 2009, vol.20, n.4, pp.372-380. ISSN 1130-1473.
We report a case of a rare meningeal melanocytoma in the cerebellopontine angle. One year after tumor gross total removal, the patient suffered a sudden and devastating meningeal melanomatosis. The relevant literature is reviewed looking for the keys to establish preoperative diagnosis and to obtain information about its treatment and postsurgical management.
