Abstract

Primary melanocytic tumors of the central nervous system are rare. In this article the authors describe a case of C1C2 intradural extramedullary melanocytoma in a 43-year-old patient who presented with neck pain. C1-3 laminectomy was performed followed by excision of the lesion and an adjoining satellite nodule, along with the dural attachment. The histopathological features were consistent with a meningeal melanocytoma despite the presence of a satellite nodule. The patient has no evidence of recurrence during the six month follow up period. A brief review of literature pertaining to the radiological features, pathological findings, management and prognosis of this rare tumor is discussed.

Özet

Merkez sinir sisteminin primer melanositik tümörleri nadir görülür. Bu makalede, yazarlar boyun ağrısıyla gelen 43 yaşında bir hastada bir C1C2 intradural ekstramedüller melanositom olgusunu tanımlamaktadır. C1-3 laminektomi yapılmış ve sonrasında lezyon ve komşu satellit nodül dural tutunma yeriyle birlikte eksize edilmiştir. Histopatolojik özellikler bir satellit nodül varlığına rağmen meningeal melanositomla uyumluydu. Hastada altı aylık tedavi döneminde rekürans bulgusu görülmedi. Radyolojik özellikler, patolojik bulgular, takip ve prognoz açısından bu nadir tümörle ilgili literatür kısaca tartışılmaktadır.
