Posterior scleral tuberculoma formation is an extremely rare condition. The few reports on scleral involvement in tuberculosis refer to cases of anterior scleritis. In the present manuscript we describe a patient who had rheumatoid arthritis and developed a large posterior scleral tuberculoma. The lesion provoked retinal detachment and visual loss and was diagnosed only after enucleation due to a misdiagnosis of choroidal melanoma.
后巩膜结核瘤形成是一种极其罕见的病症。关于巩膜受累于结核病的少数报告涉及前巩膜炎病例。在本手稿中，我们描述了一名患有类风湿性关节炎并发生了一个大的后巩膜结核瘤的患者。该病变引发了视网膜脱离和视力丧失，并且由于误诊为脉络膜黑色素瘤，仅在眼球摘除术后才得以确诊。
