Choroidal melanoma arising from optic disc melanocytoma with associated pathology and genetic findings case report
Our case of a choroidal melanoma of low metastatic risk arising from an optic disc melanocytoma may suggest that these cases have a lower metastatic risk than melanomas not derived from melanocytomas though further studies including cases with genetic profiling and long-term systemic follow up to detect metastatic disease rates are necessary to establish such a pattern.
