Abstract
To report a case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis choroidal granuloma confirmed by the presence of acid-fast bacilli seen on subretinal biopsy of the choroidal lesion. Observational case report. A 54-year-old woman with AIDS and systemic tuberculosis reported decreased vision in the right eye for 2 months duration. Subretinal biopsy showed granulomatous inflammation, and acid-fast bacilli were identified on the acid-fast bacilli stain. In cases of presumed tuberculosis choroidal granuloma not initially responsive to tuberculosis therapy, biopsy of the choroidal mass can be beneficial to confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment.
