Aim:
To report a rare presentation of a large scleral nodule with bilateral disc edema as the initial manifestation of sarcoidosis.
Materials And Methods:
Retrospective interventional case report.
Results:
A 58-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of nodular scleritis. Slit-lamp examination showed a large scleral nodule superiorly in the right eye. Fundus showed bilateral disc edema. High-resolution computed tomography of the thorax showed mediastinal and bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy. Transbronchial lymph node biopsy showed epitheloid granulomas. The scleral nodule and disc edema resolved at 6 weeks with oral steroids.
Conclusions:
This case highlights a rare presentation of a large scleral nodule with bilateral disc edema as the initial manifestation of systemic sarcoidosis.
