Melanocitoma do nervo óptico

Melanocitoma do nervo óptico

Abstract

Introdução: Melanocitoma é uma designação instituída por Zimmerman e Garron em 1962, que pretende descrever lesões densamente pigmentadas do disco óptico com comportamento assintomático e benigno. A sua prevalência exacta é desconhecida, sendo frequentemente um achado no exame oftalmológico de rotina. O diagnóstico diferencial com outras lesões pigmentadas, nomeadamente com o melanoma maligno uveal com extensão ao disco óptico é difícil, mas mandatório devido ao diferente prognóstico vital. Objectivo: Apresentar a prevalência de melanocitoma do disco óptico encontrada numa população portuguesa. Material e métodos: Estudo retrospectivo de registos retinográficos de uma população portuguesa, de 77.083 doentes, com diabetes mellitus, observada num programa de rastreio de retinopatia diabética durante os últimos 10 anos. São analisados diferentes parâmetros morfológicos, nomeadamente dimensões e localização, além da sua caracterização com vários meios complementares de diagnóstico. Resultados: A idade média na data de diagnóstico era de 70 anos. Houve um predomínio do sexo masculino (77,8%). O tumor era assintomático em todos os casos. A média da maior dimensão dos tumores era 1,6 mm. A acuidade visual era normal em três casos e subnormal num caso, não relacionado com o tumor. Foram observadas alterações campimétricas em dois casos. Foi documentado crescimento tumoral em dois casos, com seguimento de 2 a 9 anos, sem transformação maligna. Conclusão: A prevalência de melanocitoma do disco óptico é de 10/100.000, na população portuguesa

Introduction: Melanocytoma is a designation implemented by Zimmerman and Garron in 1962, to describe heavily pigmented lesions of the optic disc, with asymptomatic and benign behavior. Its real prevalence is unknown, and frequently is a hazard finding during routine ophthalmic examination. The differential diagnosis with other pigmented lesions, namely the uveal malignant melanoma with extension to the optic disc, is difficult but imperative due to the different vital prognosis. Purpose: To present the prevalence of optic disc melanocytoma in a Portuguese population. Material and methods: Retrospective study of retinal photographs of a Portuguese population of 77,083 patients with diabetes mellitus, submitted to a screening program for diabetic retinopathy during the past ten years. Different morphological parameters are analyzed such as dimensions and location. In addiction, lesion characterization with several ancillary exams is performed. Results: The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 70 years. There was a male predominance (77.8%). Tumor was asymptomatic in all cases. The mean of greatest dimension was 1.6 mm. Visual acuity was normal in three cases and subnormal in one case, not tumor related. We found visual field defects in two cases. Tumor growth was documented in two cases, with a follow-up of 2 and 9 years, without malignant transformation. Conclusion: The prevalence of optic disc melanocytoma is 10/100,000 in Portuguese population
