Abstract
- We present a case of multiple malignant melanoma metastases in the brain who is leading a normal life 16 years after the brain secondaries were managed by surgical resection, stereotactic radiation and chemotherapy. The primary lesion in the left upper arm was excised 4 years prior to the brain metastases. His most recent MRI shows him to be disease free. To the best of our knowledge, this is longest survival reported of any patient with multiple brain metastases from malignant melanoma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
