Abstract

Melanocytoma is usually a stable and benign lesion that may be localized deep in the optic disc. Histological examination reveals uniformly distributed round or oval polyhedral nevus cells containing giant melanosomes(macromelanosom). Although visual acuity is not disturbed in most cases, some visual deterioration or rarely malign transformation has also been reported. These patients should be examined once a year and the follow up examination should include fundus photography, and if indicated visual field examination and retinal nerve fiber thickness measurement. In this study, we discuss a 45 years old female patient presenting with the complaint of difficulty in near vision, whose biomicroscopic examination revaled a dark pigmented lesion on the right optic disc.

Özet

Melanositom, optik diskte derin yerleşim gösterebilen, genellikle durağan iyi huylu pigmente bir lezyondur. Histolojik olarak, yuvarlak veya oval düzgün dağılımlı dev melanozomlar içeren polihedral nevüs hücrelerinden (makromelanozom) oluşur. Görme keskinliği çoğu olguda etkilenmezken, az oranda görme keskinliğinde azalma ve çok nadiren malign dönüşüm bildirilmektedir. Bu hastalar yıllık oftalmolojik muayeneye çağırılmalı ve takipleri fundus fotoğrafı, gerekirse görme alanı ve retina sinir lifi kalınlığı ölçülerek yapılmalıdır. Biz bu çalışmada, yakını az görme şikayetiyle gelen ve görme keskinliğinde azalma görülmeyen, yapılan biyomikroskobik muayenesinde sağ optik disk üzerinde koyu pigmente lezyon görülen 45 yaşında kadın hastayı tartışıyoruz.
