| Abstract: | Melanocytoma, a specific variant of melanocytic naevus may occur anywhere along the uveal tract but most
commonly it is on the optic disk and adjacent choroid. We report a case of necrotic melanocytoma with associated
polycystic liver disease and peripheral neurofibromatosis in a 70-year old man who was referred to the eye unit of
the Korle bu Teaching hospital, Accra, Ghana with a CT scan suggestive of choroidal melanoma. Histopathological
features ofthe enucleated eye revealed necrotic melanocytoma. He also had othersystemic conditions. The case is
presented and the literature reviewed. |
