Two cases of meningeal melanocytoma, both localized in the cerebellopontine angle, were studied. The patients underwent surgical excision, and in one case there was a recurrence. All the pathologic criteria of melanocytoma were fulfilled by the 2 reported cases. Immunohistochemical stainings were very important ancillary tools in the differential diagnosis with other pigmented meningeal tumors.
