Abstract
AbstractScleritis is an inflammatory process due to a huge number of inflammatory systemic etiologies and treated with corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs. Pseudoscleritis are represented by tumoral diseases that looks like scleritis but with a painless clinical presentation, and unresponsive to corticosteroids. Theses tumoral pathologies that may simulate scleritis are usually tumors of the conjunctiva (carcinoma, achromic melanoma, sarcoma, Malt lymphoma…) however some atypical presentation of intraocular tumors can mimic anterior or posterior scleritis. The tumoral origin of ocular pathologies must not be delayed because it increases the risk of metastasis and death. One a tumor is suspected patient should be referred to an onco ophthalmologist for diagnosis and management. In this paper, the different tumoral pathologies and their management will be described.
