Major Symptoms of Meningeal Melanocytoma

Meningeal melanocytoma, also known as melanoma of the meninges, is a rare type of brain cancer that arises from melanocytes, which are cells that produce the pigment melanin. The major symptoms of this condition include a progressive increase in the size of the lesion, a deepening of the meninges (the protective membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord), and a raised temperature and persistent headache. The diagnosis of meningeal melanocytoma can be challenging, and the symptoms can be similar to those of other conditions, so a thorough diagnostic evaluation is necessary for accurate diagnosis.
