Background: Primary pineal malignant melanoma (PPMM) is a rare entity of primary central nervous system melanomas, with only 26 cases reported in the literature to date.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 65-year-old male with a PPMM who has prolonged survival of more than 104 weeks after combined microsurgical and endoscopic total resection. This is the first report: combined microscope and endoscopy total resection; PPMM in China; PPMM with total resection alone.
Conclusion: Combined microscope and endoscopy total resection is beneficial to prolong the survival of patients. But the best approach to treatment needs verification from more clinical cases in future.
