[Iris tuberculosis. A propos of a case diagnosed by iridectomy].
Ocular tuberculosis is currently rare in developed countries. We report a case of tuberculous nodular anterior uveitis which revealed primary tuberculosis in a 2-year old girl. This diagnosis was established on microscopic examination of a surgical iridectomy specimen. Thus, a metastatic retinoblastoma was eliminated. The subsequent clinical investigations showed that the girl's father had active pulmonary tuberculosis.
