Aim: To evaluate demographics, treatment patterns, radiotherapy utilization and patient outcomes in meningeal melanocytomas. Materials & methods: The National Cancer Database was queried for meningeal melanocytomas diagnosed in 2002–2016. The effects of demographic, clinical and treatment variables were determined via Kaplan–Meier log-rank and Cox regression analyses. Results: The median and 5-year overall survival were 57.46 months and 48%, respectively. Patients earning ≥ $48K showed improved survival (p = 0.0319). Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were utilized in 37.7 and 9% of patients, respectively. Conclusion: Income significantly affected survival. Surgery remains the mainstay approach. Radiotherapy was delivered in more than one-third of patients but did not impact survival. However, further analyses were limited by poor treatment modality information in the database.
