ABSTRACT
We report a case of a seventy years old lady of poor socioeconomic background who presented with painless swelling of the right upper lid since one year. No other local or systemic features were associated. An incisional biopsy was performed under local anaesthesia. Histopathological examination revealed epitheloid granuloma with Langerhan's giant cells suggestive of tuberculosis of lid skin. The clinical events and pathological findings were suggestive of Mycobacterium tuberculosis as the cause of infection. After diagnosis, the patient was referred to physician for anti-tuberculosis therapy. The eyelid swelling resolved gradually and was completely normal after 9 months of chemotherapy
