ABSTRACT
Conjunctival tuberculosis has become a rare disease in these days along with decreased incidence of systemic tuberculosis. We experienced a 43-year-old patient with large pinguecula-like protruding mass on the medial bulbar surface which was later diagnosed as conjuctival tuberculoma histopathologically. Evidence of systemic tuberculosis could not be found from any other organs of the body. This case raises the possibility that conjunctival tuberculoma may be misdiagnosed as a simple pingueculum unless histopathologic examination is performed. Brief history and clinical findings will be presented with pictures of the pathology findings, and some literatures will be reviewed.
