Abstract
Meningeal melanocytomas are uncommon intracranial tumors and their occurrence at the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) is extremely rare. The authors describe the case of a 58-year-old woman who presented with a left CPA tumor; on the basis of histopathological studies after resection, a diagnosis of meningeal melanocytoma was reached. The relevant literature is reviewed.
