ABSTRACT

The neurocutaneous melanosis is a rare syndrome in which the congenital melanocytic nevi and excessive melanosis are the main features. The syndrome seems to be a morphogenesis error of the embryonic neuroectoderm. A clinical case with necroscopy in a 19 year-old man who had developed malign melanoma in his central nervous system is reported.
