dc.description.abstractA 45-year-old woman (Case 1) applied for control examination to learn whether there was any growth or not on tumoral lesion in her left eye. Melanocytoma of the optic disc involving the adjacent choroid in the left eye was seen on ophthalmoscopic examination. The appearence of the patient was consistent with achondroplasia. Case 2, a 29-year-old woman, applied with headache complaint. Bilateral optic disc hypoplasia and melanocytoma of the optic disc in the right eye was found on the fundus examination and magnetic resonance imaging revealed an arachnoid cyst in the left temporal fossa. Although melanocytoma of the optic disc has not been proven to have any systemic associations, it is likely to be associated with some of the systemic diseases and other ocular pathologies. Optic disc hypoplasia associated with melanocytoma of the optic disc has been reported previously, however, associations of achondroplasia or arachnoid cyst with melanocytoma of the optic disc have nor yet been reported.en_US
