Meningeal melanocytoma is a rare pigmented tumor of the leptomeningeal melanocytes. This rare entity results in diagnostic difficulty in imaging unless clinical and histopathology correlation is performed. In this case report, we describe a case of meningeal melanocytoma of the cervical region presenting with superficial siderosis. Extensive neuroradiological examination is necessary to locate the source of the bleeding in such patients. Usually, the patient will be cured by the complete surgical excision of the lesion.
脑膜黑素细胞瘤是一种罕见的软脑膜黑素细胞色素性肿瘤。这种罕见的疾病在影像学上诊断困难,除非进行临床与组织病理学相关性分析。在本病例报告中,我们描述了一例伴有浅表性铁沉积症的颈部脑膜黑素细胞瘤病例。对于此类患者,需要进行广泛的神经放射学检查以确定出血来源。通常,通过对病变进行完整的手术切除可治愈患者。
