Abstract:
Solitary choroidal tuberculoma is a rare ocular tuberculosis, a form of secondary infection derived through the blood-stream from some focus of infection elsewhere in the body, characterized by gradual growing until it resembles a tumor projecting into the cavity of eye. Authors experienced a case of a solitary choroidal tuberculoma. A brief review of literature is described.
