ABSTRACT
Conjunctival tuberculosis, a very rare disease, is thought to be a relatively rare cause of ocular diseases. This is because of a decreased incidence of tuberculosis as well as lessened emphasis on its diagnosis. We have experienced a 19-years old female who had a injection and hypertrophic granulomatous inflammation, on the left lower palpebral conjunctiva. We performed excisional biopsy under the clinical diagnosis of the chronic conjunctivitis and confirmed the histopathological diagnosis of conjunctival tuberculosis. So, the literature of the conjunctival tuberculosis was briefly reviewed with clinical history.
