Abstract

We present a rare case of supratentorial meningeal melanoma associated with ipsilateral nevus of Ota, and a review of the literature. The patient was a 32-year-old man with a right-sided nevus of Ota, presenting with unconsciousness. His CT and MRI scans revealed an extra axial tumor with dural tail signs; no lesion was detected on systemic examination. Intraoperatively, the tumor demonstrated black hyperpigmentation and was histologically diagnosed as malignant melanoma. Following surgery, he received radiotherapy and chemotherapy. For over a year and a half, the patient has shown no recurrence of the lesion.
