ABSTRACT
The primary malignant melanoma arising in the leptomeninges of the central nervous system is extremely rare. We report a case of malignant melanoma, apparently thought to be originated from leptomeninges, with diffuse neoplastic process widely spreaded over the leptomeninges of 42 years old man, who had suffered severe headache, nausea and left hemiparesis. This patient is free of the symptoms for six months after operation. The literature on this subject is briefly reviewed.
