Primary CNS melanoma is an extremely rare and aggressive malignancy, especially in pediatric patients. We present the case of a 12-year-old girl who initially presented with sudden-onset severe headache and neurological deficits, and imaging revealed a left frontotemporal mass, suspected to be an arteriovenous malformation. After developing spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, she underwent emergency craniectomy and partial resection, with pathology confirming primary CNS melanoma.

- Multiple primary malignant tumors (MPMTs) involve the diagnosis of two or more distinct cancers within a 6-month period, presenting challenges in distinguishing them from metastatic growths.
- A case of a 41-year-old woman is presented, where she was diagnosed with three separate primary tumors: invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, invasive mucinous pulmonary adenocarcinoma, and neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung.
- Effective management of MPMTs requires a collaborative approach among various specialists, highlighting the need for thorough diagnostic processes and high clinical suspicion.
Context: Assessment and response to patients' spiritual concerns are crucial components of high-quality supportive care. Better measures of spiritual needs across the cultural spectrum may help direct necessary interventions.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to assess spiritual needs in a racially/ethnically and religiously mixed sample of hematology and oncology outpatients and examine the association between spiritual needs and perception of quality of care and satisfaction with care.
