Atypical Melanoma Misdiagnosed as Viral Meningoencephalitis: A Case Report by Lirong Wu* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)
As a
rare disease with diverse clinical symptoms, primary intracranial malignant
melanoma is usually misdiagnosed. We describe a patient who presented
intracranial hypertension with abnormal signals in the left temporal lobe. The
result of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis was consistent with the signs of
viral meningoencephalitis, so antiviral and nutritional support was given, his headache
relieved with normal intracranial pressure. The symptoms of the patients were
repeated, and the left temporal lobe lesion was unknown. Surgical biopsy
confirmed it was malignant melanoma lastly. This case highlights the brain
biopsy in facilitating a highly accurate diagnosis rate.
