Research Abstract

A 22-year-old male patient had proptosis and lower-lid mass extending to the orbit. Histopathology following surgical excision showed a characteristic picture of non-caseating granuloma. Acid-fast bacilli were seen in tissue sections. The patient responded to antituberculous therapy.
