ABSTRACT
Posterior scleral tuberculoma formation is an extremely rare condition. The few reports on scleral involvement in tuberculosis refer to cases of anterior scleritis. In the present manuscript we describe a patient who had rheumatoid arthritis and developed a large posterior scleral tuberculoma. The lesion provoked retinal detachment and visual loss and was diagnosed only after enucleation due to a misdiagnosis of choroidal melanoma.
RESUMO
A formação de granuloma tuberculoso na esclera posterior é um evento extremamente raro. Os poucos relatos de acometimento escleral na tuberculose referem-se a casos de esclerite anterior. No presente trabalho é descrito um caso de granuloma escleral posterior em um paciente portador de artrite reumatóide. A lesão provocou descolamento da retina e perda visual e só foi diagnosticada após enucleação por suspeita de melanoma de coróide.
