  • Look Inside

A rare case of primary intracranial melanoma is pre-sented in a 34-year-old man with initial symptoms of per-sistent headache. In magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), this case had all the characteristic findings of intracranial melanoma which had been reported previously.

In 123I-iodoamphetamine-single photon emission CT (123I-IMP-SPECT), abnormal accumulation of 123-IMP was recognized in early and late phase imaging, which was very specific to the lesion. This is the first report of 123-IMP-SPECT performed on a primary intracranial melanoma. Tumor mass originated from pia mater was surgically resected, but the dissemination of tumor cells was recognized macroscopically. Pathological examina-tion of the specimen showed very little malignant changes of melanoma cells, which was in contrast to the previous reports. Although, no standard chemotherapy of the primary intracranial melanoma has been estab-lished, DAV therapy to the dissemination of tumor cells into the subarachnoid space, and intravenous administra-tion of interferon-13 were performed in this case. Methods of differential diagnosis and treatments of primary in-tracranial melanoma are reviewed and discussed.
