The authors present a case of multiple brain metastases and an extracranial secondary localization from malignant melanoma. The patient was operated on three times for the intracranial masses and had a 49-month survival with a good quality of life after the first of the three operations. She lived a total of 80 months from the time of diffusion of the primary tumor. The course of malignant melanoma is unpredictable, and long-term survival can be achieved in some cases, even in the presence of multiple brain metastases.
作者报告了一例恶性黑色素瘤发生多处脑转移及颅外继发转移的病例。该患者因颅内肿块接受了三次手术，在第一次手术后存活了49个月，生活质量良好。从原发肿瘤扩散时起，她总共存活了80个月。恶性黑色素瘤的病程不可预测，即使存在多处脑转移，在某些情况下仍可实现长期生存。
