AI Article Synopsis
- An optic disk melanocytoma is a benign tumor found on the optic disk, typically averaging 2mm in diameter, but smaller versions are quite rare.
- A unique case of a “micro” melanocytoma measuring 0.71mm was examined using various imaging techniques, such as ultrasound and optical coherence tomography (OCT).
- While some imaging methods showcased changes seen in earlier studies, OCT and ultrasound provided specific findings that may be important for future monitoring of these tumors.
Article Abstract
An optic disk melanocytoma is a benign pigmented neoplasm of the optic disk measuring 2.00mm of diameter in average. Smaller optic disk melanocytomas are rare and have not been studied with multiple imaging studies. A case of a "micro" optic disk melanocytoma measuring 0.71mm in diameter was studied by multiple imaging modalities, including fundus autofluorescence, ultrasound, visual fields, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography. While clinical appreciation and fundus autofluorescence reveal changes compatible with previously reported cases, OCT, OCT angiography and ultrasound reveal specific changes that could be useful for follow up.
