Abstract BACKGROUND: We present a case of 72-year-old man with a history of metastatic melanoma diagnosed in 2015 presenting a stable disease in treatment with dabrafenib. CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient had been surgically treated for a presumed intracranial parietooccipital metastasis. He presented 1 month later with a meningeal lesion associated with a subdural hematoma. A second surgical treatment confirmed the diagnosis of meningeal recurrence of metastatic melanoma. CONCLUSIONS: The most recent literature lacks studies defining the clinical phenomena of an early recurrence of intracranial melanoma with de novo involvement of dural compartment in patients in treatment with a target immunotherapy. The aim of this present study is to report a case of early recurrence of intracranial melanoma metastases with evidence of fast immunohistochemical and macroscopical mutation of pathologic elements, with an analysis of literature that shows the lack of well-described occurrences.
