Abstract
Tuberculosis is a known bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex and has varied clinical presentation. Though pulmonary from is the commonest, extra orbital form is a rare presentation of the same. Here we present a case of extra orbital tuberculosis in a young female, presenting as a painless swelling lateral to the lateral canthus of right eye, along with right preauricular lymphadenopathy. The mass was excised, sent for histopathological examination and culture of M. tuberculosis, which yielded positive results.
