Meningeal Melanocytomas

[değiştir]

Rare, benign lesions, with high recurrence rate. Thought to be derived from leptomeningeal melanocytes. Contain melanin pigment. Usually positive for HMB 45, Melan A, vimentin, and S-100. May recur as melanomas and may metastasize.

  • Review: PMID 15160350, 2004 — "Therapy of meningeal melanocytomas." Rades D et al. Cancer. 2004 Jun 1;100(11):2442-7.
    • Reviewed all published literature since 1972. 89 pts included.
    • Demographics: 46 spinal cord, 43 brain. Median f/u 5 yrs.
    • Overall recurrence rate 37%. 24% after complete rebaşlık (CTR), 0% after CR + RT, 78% after incomplete rebaşlık (ITR), 24% after ITR + RT. For ITR + RT, dose response for local control (86% for 45-55 Gy vs 27% for < 40 Gy)
    • Conclusions: complete rebaşlık should be performed when possible. Incomplete rebaşlık should be followed with RT, approx 45 Gy.
