He presented with an intracerebral melanocytoma associated with a blue nevus of the scalp; its location and its appearance during childhood supported the diagnosis of a nevus of Ota.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">Meningeal melanocytomas are increasingly being diagnosed, but remain rare. Primary meningeal malignant melanoma is the first differential diagnosis to eliminate.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">Despite their common embryonic origin, the association of a melanocytoma with a nevus of Ota is rare. A nevus of Ota exhibits the same melanocytic proliferation and affects the trigeminal nerve territory. An ocular effect is not always observed. In contrast to an ocular lesion, a nevus of Ota rarely transforms into a malignant melanoma. It is found only among caucasians.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">During 4 years of follow-up review after surgery, the patient remained asymptomatic. Other than antiepileptic therapy, he received no complementary treatment and cerebral imaging revealed no evidence of recurrence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.2002.96.3.0619","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,13]],"date-time":"2009-05-13T17:48:55Z","timestamp":1242236935000},"page":"619-623","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Intracranial meningeal melanocytoma associated with ipsilateral nevus of Ota"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"96","author":[{"given":"Marie-Dominique","family":"Piercecchi-Marti","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hicham","family":"Mohamed","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Agnes","family":"Liprandi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniele","family":"Gambarelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francois","family":"Grisoli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jean-Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Pellissier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1","series-title":"Ann Dermatol Venereol","first-page":"129","article-title":"Naevus bleu en plaque du cuir chevelu associe a un melanocytome meninge.","volume":"125","author":"Alla","year":"1998"},{"key":"b2","series-title":"Neurology","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"381","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.43.2.381","article-title":"Nevus of Ota and leptomeningeal melanocytic lesions.","volume":"43","author":"Balmaceda","year":"1993"},{"key":"b3","series-title":"Neurochirurgie","first-page":"188","article-title":"Melanocytome m\u00e9ning\u00e9 intramedullaire.","volume":"39","author":"Barth","year":"1993"},{"key":"b4","series-title":"Cancer","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2304","DOI":"10.1002\/1097-0142(19830615)51:12<2304::AID-CNCR2820511223>3.0.CO;2-U","article-title":"Meningeal melanocytoma of Meckel's cave associated with ipsilateral Ota's nevus.","volume":"51","author":"Boticelli","year":"1983"},{"key":"b5","series-title":"J Neurosurg","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.3171\/jns.1998.88.1.0116","article-title":"Meningeal melanocytoma.
