Dural metastases from melanoma is a rare type of skin melanoma progression. Mainly such lesion is asymptomatic and is indicated in the later stages of tumor tissue downgrowth beyond the skull or cerebral compression. A radical excision is considered to be the main method of treatment if there is a clinically significant and surgically available single metastasis.

In spite of emergency surgery the patient passed away the next day.
