2021
Objective: To describe an interesting case of miliary tuberculosis mimicking retinoblastoma. Method: A retrospective case report. Result: The twin brother of a known case of retinobastoma presented with headache. On fundus examination, multiple yellowish-white lesions were noted in both eyes. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed multiple enhancing lesions. A diagnosis of miliary tuberculosis was made and anti-tubercular therapy was started. Conclusion: Ocular tuberculosis can mimic retinoblastoma and lead to diagnostic dilemma especially in cases with family history of retinoblastoma.
