A case of primary meningeal intermediate grade melanocytic neoplasm involving the right C2 nerve root is presented. MRI findings may suggest this rare entity, especially when an extra-axial lesion is located in the posterior fossa or cervical spinal canal and demonstrates shortening of both T1 and T2. Eventually, definitive diagnosis relies on histology which demonstrates spindle-shaped melanocytic cells that are Fontana stained and positive for HMB:45 antigen. Cellularity, pleomorphism, mitotic rate, proliferation index and invasiveness are useful criteria to distinguish among the spectrum of primary melanocytic tumors of the central nervous system ranging from melanocytoma to malignant melanoma.
