Abstract

A case of a 28 year old woman with an intracranial cellular blue naevus (CBN) which was believed to be the extension from a pigmented skin/scalp lesion is reported. There was no similar pigmented skin lesion noted on other parts of her body. Radical intervention, including wide excision of the affected skin of the scalp, removal of the underlying pigmented skull bone and wide excision of the pigmented dura, together with wide excision of the intracranial mass, were performed. The skin defect was covered by rotation flap and free skin graft. The dura was closed by grafting with fascia lata. The skull defect was left open and would be repaired later at a second planned surgery.
