Los melanocitomas meníngeos son tumores infrecuentes, que cuando asientan en la médula espinal y debido a su relación con la raíz nerviosa; pueden ser confundidos con un neurinoma. La RM puede ayudar a diferenciarlos de los neurinomas preoperatoriamente.

Se presenta el caso de una paciente portadora de un melanocitoma meníngeo cervical afectando la raíz C7, cuyo diagnóstico preoperatorio fue de neurinoma en reloj de arena
