Abstract
Primary central nervous system (CNS) melanomas are rare tumors arise from precursor leptomeningeal melanocytes that are scattered throughout the arachnoid membranes. The nodular form of primary CNS melanoma manifests as a solitary, discrete neoplasm with a predilection for the spinal cord and posterior fossa. Around 100 cases of primary CNS melanoma reported in the literature. Here, we report the first case in Saudi Arabia of a 55-year-old man who presented with nausea, vomiting, and sudden loss of consciousness. CT brain with contrast showed a left temporal lesion, which was resected and histologically proved to be primary CNS melanoma.
