Melanocytomas, rare benign central nervous system (CNS) tumors, can cause persistent symptoms after trauma. Complete surgical resection offers a potential cure for these melanocytic lesions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Melanocytomas are uncommon benign melanocytic tumors affecting the central nervous system (CNS).
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, especially when symptoms arise after trauma.

Observation:

  • A case of cervical melanocytoma is presented, diagnosed following a traumatic injury.
  • The patient experienced persistent neck pain and presented with an abnormal neurological examination.

Findings:

  • The cervical melanocytoma was identified as the cause of the patient's symptoms.
  • Histopathological confirmation of a benign melanocytic tumor was obtained.

Implications:

  • Early identification of benign melanocytic lesions in the CNS is crucial.
