ABSTRACT
Solitary choroidal tubercle is rare disease nowadays although it was frequently reported in the old literatures. It is characterized by indefinite yellowish-white round nodule in the posterior pole of the eyeball in young adults with inactive disease. It is sometimes protruded toward vitreous cavity with retinal necrosis, vitreous opacity and cyclitis. Authors experienced a case of solitary choroidal tubercle which had been misdiagnosed as a malignant melanoma. We confirmed it by pathologic findings.
