warning

"Although classified as benign, meningeal melanocytomas may behave aggressively and a limited number may transform to malignant melanomas ^1-4. Complete excision is the treatment of choice, however, this often not possible as intra-operative haemorrhage may be severe. Furthermore, local recurrence has been reported even after gross total removal ¹. Due to the risk of tumour recurrence even after complete excision, adjuvant radiation therapy is advised in cases of both complete and incomplete resection ²."

Line 38:239 · A prefix takes a hyphen only to avoid a duplicate letter: 'intra-operative'.
