Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract
Progressive cranial nerve palsies and painful ophthalmoplegia developed in a 76-year-old man with lentigo maligna of the forehead 18 months after the excision of a spindle cell tumour of the forehead that proved on immunohistochemical study to be a malignant melanoma. The signs and symptoms were caused by neurotropic spread of the malignant melanoma into the cavernous sinus and subsequent neurosarcomatous transformation of the orbital metastasis.
