    A rare case of tuberculous panophthalmitis in a Nigerian infant initially misdiagnosed as retinoblastoma highlights the importance of considering tuberculosis in ocular infections. Prompt antituberculous therapy led to remarkable recovery, contrasting with adverse radiotherapy effects.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Pediatrics

    Background:

    • Ocular tuberculosis is rare, often presenting atypically.
    • Diagnostic challenges arise due to non-specific symptoms and rarity.

    Observation:

    • A one-year-old Nigerian infant presented with an episcleral mass, mimicking retinoblastoma.
    • Subconjunctival depomedrol exacerbated the condition, leading to fundal spread.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination confirmed tuberculous panophthalmitis, not retinoblastoma.
    • The patient showed a remarkable response to antituberculous therapy for both ocular and chest lesions.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the need to consider tuberculosis in pediatric ocular masses, especially in endemic regions.
