Abstract:
Malignant melanoma is known to metastasize to all organs of human body and accounted for the third most frequent primary neoplasm in the intracranial metastases. In a series of melanomas, cerebral symptoms have developed clinically only in 6% although the metastatic cerebral lesions were found by autopsy as high as 39%. The authors have experienced a case of metastatic melanoma on the Rt. Frontoparietal lobe with Jacksonian epilepsy as its presenting symptom.
