[Blue nevus of the scalp associated with a meningeal melanocytoma].

Abstract

The apparition of headache related to a blue nevus must lead to realize a cerebral MRI to look for a neuroectodermic hamartoma: melanotic tumor (in particular melanoma), or leptomeninges melanosis with high potential of degeneration. Meningeal melanocytoma is a rare benign spinal or intra cranial melanotic tumor.
