    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Orbital masses can present diagnostic challenges.
    • Tuberculosis (TB) is a significant global infectious disease.

    Observation:

    • A 15-year-old male presented with a left orbital mass requiring surgical exploration.
    • Postoperative diagnosis revealed orbital and pulmonary tuberculosis.

    Findings:

    • Diagnosis was confirmed by imaging, histopathology, a positive tuberculin skin test, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis cultures.
    • The patient had both orbital and pulmonary involvement.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the necessity of including tuberculosis in the differential diagnosis for orbital masses.
  • Early consideration of TB can lead to timely and appropriate treatment for orbital infections.
