Melanoma leptomeningeal dissemination following frontoparietal metastasis surgery: Case report and review of the literature.

abstract：:Skeletal muscle is rich in lymphatic vessels, with an abundant blood supply, and it is an infrequent site of cancer metastasis. Previous studies have demonstrated that enhanced secretion of MyoD may occur when skeletal muscle is injured or becomes cancerous. It was hypothesized that MyoD may act as an endogenous cytok...
