Se presenta un paciente con un raro melanocitoma meníngeo del ángulo pontocerebeloso que, tras su extirpación quirúrgica radical, evolucionó en el plazo de un año hacia una melanomatosis meníngea fulminante. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica en busca de las claves para hacer una aproximación diagnóstica preoperatoria de este tipo de tumor y obtener información sobre su tratamiento y manejo postoperatorio.
