Primary intraspinal melanoma, a rare spinal cord tumor, was successfully removed in this case. The patient experienced full recovery with no recurrence after surgery and radiotherapy.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Primary intraspinal melanoma is an exceptionally rare tumor, with only 37 cases documented globally.
  • Spinal cord compression necessitates prompt diagnosis and intervention.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with symptoms indicative of spinal cord compression.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spinal angiography were utilized for diagnosis.
  • Surgical intervention involved the total removal of an intraspinal cervical tumor.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed the tumor as melanoma.
  • The patient received subsequent radiotherapy for treatment.
  • A 4-year follow-up revealed no signs of recurrence on MRI.

Implications:

  • Complete surgical resection and adjuvant radiotherapy can lead to favorable outcomes in primary intraspinal melanoma.
  • Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for managing spinal cord compression.
  • This case contributes to the limited literature on primary intraspinal melanoma, highlighting successful management strategies.
