A Case of Metastatic Intracranial Melanoma

ABSTRACT

Malignant melanoma is known to metastasize to all organs of human body and accounted for the third most frequent primary neoplasm in the intracranial metastases. In a series of melanomas, cerebral symptoms have developed clinically only in 6% although the metastatic cerebral lesions were found by autopsy as high as 39%. The authors have experienced a case of metastatic melanoma on the Rt. Frontoparietal lobe with Jacksonian epilepsy as its presenting symptom.
