Abstract
Papillary melanocytoma is a pigmented tumor of the optic nerve, benign, rare, and often asymptomatic. We report the case of a 28-year-old man, who presents a unilateral papillary melanocytoma, discovered fortuitously, during an ophthalmological consultation for optical correction. We performed an ocular ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis, and magnetic resonance imaging did not reveal any retrobulbar extension. Our patient was monitored for 24 months, without evolution of his tumor.
