We present a case of multiple malignant melanoma metastases in the brain who is leading a normal life 16 years after the brain secondaries were managed by surgical resection, stereotactic radiation and chemotherapy. The primary lesion in the left upper arm was excised 4 years prior to the brain metastases. His most recent MRI shows him to be disease free. To the best of our knowledge, this is longest survival reported of any patient with multiple brain metastases from malignant melanoma.
我们报告一例脑内多发恶性黑色素瘤转移患者，在脑转移瘤经手术切除、立体定向放疗及化疗治疗后16年，仍过着正常生活。左上臂的原发性病变在脑转移前4年被切除。他最近的MRI显示无疾病迹象。据我们所知，这是有记录的恶性黑色素瘤多发脑转移患者最长的生存期。
