Abstract
We present a case report of a patient with an intramedullary tumor of the midcervical cord. At surgery, the lesion was found to be highly pigmented, and pathological analysis revealed a melanotic schwannoma. Intramedullary schwannomas and melanotic schwannomas are exceedingly rare. This is the second reported case of an intramedullary melanotic schwannoma of the central nervous system.Entities:
