Melanocytoma of the optic nerve head: a review.

Abstract

The melanocytoma of the optic disc is a deeply-pigmented tumor located on the optic nerve head. In contrast to malignant melanoma, it appears to occur in equal frequency in whites and non-whites. Histologically, it consists of deeply-pigmented plump nervus cells with benign characteristics. No treatment is usually necessary and the prognosis is excellent.
