Abstract
While the presence of metastatic melanocytoma in the central nervous system (CNS) is relatively common, primary spinal melanocytoma (PSM) is an extremely rare entity. Only 70 cases have been reported, and its usual position is the cervical region. We report a case of a 35-year-old male with primary spinal intramedullary melanocytoma with a dorsal exophytic component. The tumor was first opened in the periphery and was closed without being operated upon due to it being an uncommon pathology.
