ESTRADA-VILLARREAL, M. Camila. Optic nerve melanocytoma: pathophysiology, clinical considerations, and diagnostic novelties. Rev. mex. oftalmol [online]. 2020, vol.94, n.3, pp.131-139.  Epub June 25, 2021. ISSN 2604-1227.  https://doi.org/10.24875/rmo.m20000112.

Optic nerve melanocytoma is a rare, benign, pigmented tumor of the optic disc that may cause visual complications in few cases and can be easily confused with a malignant melanoma. This review aims to highlight its clinical characteristics and pathophysiology, as well as to update the diagnostic methods available, like optical coherence tomography angiography.
