Abstract
Only three cases of melanocytoma have been noted from 1994 to 2004 in 150,000 Caribbean patients examined in the University Hospital Center of Fort de France. The rarity of melanoma and the predisposition to melanocytoma are important epidemiologic factors in the etiologic search for pigmented tumor within the Black population. Yearly fundus examination is useful for monitoring growth and detecting malignant transformation.
