OBJECTIVE To report the diagnosis of a case of recurrent iris fungal granuloma presumed to be an iris tuberculoma in a 10-year-old girl. METHODS Case report METHODS Retrospective medical chart review including serological and microbiological investigative results RESULTS A patient presented with iris mass associated with anterior uveitis. Serological tests were positive for IgM of tuberculosis. Steroids treatment was initiated in conjunction with anti-tuberculosis treatment. The course showed remissions and exacerbation. Fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of the granuloma proved the etiologic agent to be Aspergillus fumigates. CONCLUSIONS Fine needle aspiration biopsy should be used in the diagnosis of iris masses associated with recurrent inflammation.
