Frontal brain metastasis of amelanotic malignant melanoma: Case presentation

Amelanotic melanoma is met only in 2-8% of cases with malignant melanoma. The incidence of brain metastases in patients with malignant melanoma ranges from 6-43% of cases. Brain metastases are frequently associated with malignant melanoma after the intratumorale hemorrhage. We choose to present the case of 58-years-old men with a frontal brain metastasis of amelanotic malignant melanoma

Intramedullary spinal cord tumour (hemangioblastoma): Clinical case presentation

Hemangioblastomas represent cca. 1 - 2,5% of all the intracranial tumours and only 2 -3% at the level of the spinal cord. The symptomatology, usually insidious, is directly proportional with the size of the tumour. The native magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan and the use of a contrast agent is the investigation of choice for diagnosing intramedullary tumours. Authors report the case of a 51 years old man patient admitted in our institution for an intramedullary spinal cord tumor, developed insidious. The lesion was completely removed. Postoperatory outcome was excellent, and the histopathological result was: hemangioblastoma
