title: [Optical coherence tomography for surveillance of optic disc melanocytoma].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Melanocytoma of the optic disc is a stable condition that unfrequently undergoes malignant transformation.
  
  
  METHODS
  We reported the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with a pigmented tumoral lesion of the optic disc in her left eye. We described its characteristics in optical coherence tomography (OCT).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Patients with pigmented tumors of the optic disc should have a periodic monitoring. OCT may be helpful in the difficult differential diagnosis between malignant and benign tumor and the monitoring of this lesion.
