Metastatic Melanoma to the Central Nervous System: Case Report and Review of the Literature

An elderly man with multiple hemorrhagic, presumed neoplastic lesions of the brain is described who could not undergo magnetic resonance imaging because of a pacemaker. On autopsy, metastatic melanoma was identified. In this report, we discuss the differential diagnosis of hemorrhagic metastases, the incidence and prognosis of metastatic melanoma to the brain, and the limited therapeutic options for metastatic melanoma.
