Abstract

Sir, We read with great interest the paper by Sanghvi et al1 and would like to commend the authors for a well-presented case series of presumed tuberculous uveitis. However, in their series of 27 patients, no cases of choroidal tuberculoma were presented. All cases of tuberculosis-related uveitis seen in the Ocular Oncology Service are associated with choroidal tuberculoma as it masquerades as choroidal melanoma2 We present one such case.
