We are reporting herewith a case of 54-year old lady who presented with a painless, peanut sized swelling in the right upper eyelid which was there since the past 2 months. No other local or systemic features were associated with it. An incisional biopsy was performed under local anaesthesia. The histopathological examination revealed an epithelioid granuloma with Langhans giant cells. The PCR test of the tissue confirmed the diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB). The patient was given anti-tubercular therapy and she is responding well, with the eyelid swelling being resolved.
