Abstract
We report the case of an isolated pigmented lesion of the cerebellar t entorium which was initially interpreted as meningeal melanocytoma. Th e immunohistochemical study required as a result of a subsequent post- surgical recurrence prompted us to reconsider the early diagnosis in f avour of malignant meningeal melanoma. On the basis of data in the lit erature, the possibility that the lesion may have been a dural melanom a is discussed.
