Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Tuberculoma, a rare manifestation of tuberculosis, can affect various organs.
  • Orbital involvement by tuberculosis is exceptionally uncommon, posing diagnostic challenges.

Observation:

  • This report details a unique case of tuberculoma extensively involving the entire eyeball.
  • The tuberculoma also affected other orbital cavity structures, indicating significant disease progression.

Findings:

  • The presented case demonstrates a rare and extensive orbital tuberculoma.
  • The involvement of the whole eyeball signifies a severe and unusual presentation of ocular tuberculosis.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis of orbital masses, even in the absence of systemic symptoms.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis and management of orbital tuberculomas is warranted due to their rarity.
