Primary spinal cord melanoma (PSCM) and primary pleural melanoma (PPM) are extremely rare entities with scarce cases reported in the literature. We present a case of a 54-year-old male diagnosed with possible primary pleural melanoma and primary spinal melanoma, managed with partial surgical resection, postoperative radiotherapy, and chemotherapy consisting of Ipilimumab, nivolumab, and temozolomide. This leads to decreased symptoms and improved quality of life of the patient. In this case report, we review the literature on PSCM and PPM in detail, addressing the pertinent clinical aspects as well as current and upcoming therapeutic options.
原发性脊髓黑色素瘤(PSCM)和原发性胸膜黑色素瘤(PPM)是极为罕见的疾病,文献报道的病例很少。我们报告一例54岁男性,诊断为可能的原发性胸膜黑色素瘤和原发性脊髓黑色素瘤,接受了部分手术切除、术后放疗以及由伊匹单抗、纳武单抗和替莫唑胺组成的化疗。这使患者症状减轻,生活质量得到改善。在本病例报告中,我们详细回顾了关于PSCM和PPM的文献,探讨了相关临床方面以及当前和即将出现的治疗选择。
