Summary: We present an autopsy case of primary leptomeningeal melanoma visualized with technetium-99m-hexamethylpropyleneamine oxime (Tc-99m-HMPAO) single photon emission CT (SPECT) of the brain. Increased uptake of Tc-99m-HMPAO coincided with leptomeningeal enhancement on MR images and with the tumor location of the autopsy findings. It was thought that Tc-99m-HMPAO could correlate closely with melanoma. Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT clearly showed primary leptomeningeal melanoma and severe hypoperfusion induced by intracranial hypertension and tumor proliferation. |
