Case report We present the case of a 26 year-old Pakistani male, who after the presumptive diagnosis of anterior tuberculous scleritis (by an atypical clinical appearance and positive epidemiological link), was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. Discussion Nodular anterior scleritis is an uncommon presentation of tuberculosis (TB). It is considered a diagnostic challenge because of the difficulty to extract bacilli from the ocular tissue. However, a detailed medical history and eye examination can be the key to an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment of the TB.
