Abstract

Neurocutaneous melanosis (NCM) is a rare congenital, nonhereditary neurocutaneous syndrome that mainly occurs in children; adult NCM is very rare. Due to its rarity, the clinical features and treatment strategies for NCM remain unclear. The purpose of this study was to explore the clinical features, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of NCM in adults. Most intracranial meningeal melanomas are solid masses, and cystic-solid malignant melanomas are very rare. Due to the lack of data, the cause of cystic changes and the effect on prognosis are unknown.
