A Case Series of Optic Nerve Head Melanocytoma from a Tertiary Care Hospital in Rural Tamil Nadu

Optic Nerve Head Melanocytoma (ONHM) is a rare benign pigmented condition manifested due to the presence of Uveal melanocytes more predominantly on or just adjacent to the optic nerve head. In spite of having a rare possibility for being malignant, it has previously been misdiagnosed to be a malignant melanoma that resulted in the execution of various enucleations. We report a case series of three patient’s with Optic Nerve Head Melanocytoma, all noted as incidental findings on routine examination. Though benign, we would like to stress on advising a lifelong follow-up in these patients.
