Case Report: A 33 year-old female with a large, unilateral, dark tumour of the optic disk with a presumed diagnosis of melanocytoma. After a follow-up of nineteen years, the tumour produced massive intraocular seeding with cataract, secondary glaucoma (pigmentary, melanocytomalytic, inflammatory and pupillary seclusion glaucoma) and amaurosis. The eye is enucleated and the pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis.
