| Core Tip |
Primary intramedullary melanocytoma is an extremely rare kind of primary melanocytic tumors within spinal cord. The features in imaging are nonspecific depending on the degree of melanization, intra-tumoral hemorrhage and duration of bleeding. Therefore, diagnosis confirmation consists of two key points: (1) Pathological test; and (2) Excluding the possibility of metastases from other melanocytomas outside spinal cord using the positron emission tomography–computed tomography scanning and physical examination of whole body. The recommended therapy strategy includes complete resection and subsequent adjuvant radiation or Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Besides, maximal safe resection is also beneficial for the patients with difficulty to be resected totally. More case studies are needed to determine the optimal management strategy due to its rarity. |
