Swept-source optical coherence tomography of an optic disc melanocytoma: The importance of the hyperreflective foci

Indian J Ophthalmol. 2018 Jan;66(1):140-142. doi: 10.4103/ijo.IJO_642_17.

Abstract

Optic disc melanocytoma (ODM) has been considered as a benign tumor with few reports of malignant transformation. We present swept-source optical coherence tomography (SSOCT) imaging of a case of ODM. As attaining histopathology is impossible in most cases, we discuss the possibility of using SSOCT as a tool for ruling out choroidal invasion or juxtapapillary melanoma.
