Abstract

Rates of malignant melanoma have been increasing in frequency. Studies have shown that up to 46% of patients with melanoma will experience metastases to the central nervous system. Intramedullary spinal cord metastasis of malignant melanoma is rare. In advanced cancers, surgery might not be possible, and radiotherapy with corticotherapy is a viable option. In the following case, a 54-year-old male presented to the clinic with an intramedullary tumor in the D1 region. He was successfully managed with an integrated palliative care approach with concomitant cancer-directed therapy.
