Recently, tuberculosis re-emerged as a serious public health problem, in industrialized countries, while remaining it remains a major cause of mortality and morbidity in third world countries. Intraocular localization is rare. The most common manifestation of ocular tuberculosis in patients with miliary is Bouchut tubercules. An atypical feature of ocular tuberculosis is discussed: a pseudotumoral choroid granuloma. The behavior of the lesion and its response to antituberculous therapy was documented clinically by fundus photography on fluorescein angiography.

[Palpebral Merkel cell tumors apropos of 3 cases].

The Merkel-cell tumor is a recently individualized (1972) malignant skin tumor. The diagnosis is made on the pathology. It consists of an intra-dermal proliferation of small regular cells with large nucleus and reduced cytoplasm. The evidence of neurosecretory granules and paranuclear intermediate filaments by electron microscopy is suggestive of a Merkel-cell tumor. Following a review of the literature and 3 personal observations the authors have detailed the clinical, anatomopathologic and evolutional characteristics of palpebral localizations.
