[Optical coherence tomography for surveillance of optic disc melanocytoma].

Abstract

Introduction: Melanocytoma of the optic disc is a stable condition that unfrequently undergoes malignant transformation.

Case report: We reported the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with a pigmented tumoral lesion of the optic disc in her left eye. We described its characteristics in optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Conclusion: Patients with pigmented tumors of the optic disc should have a periodic monitoring. OCT may be helpful in the difficult differential diagnosis between malignant and benign tumor and the monitoring of this lesion.
