We present a case of orbital tumor with skin lesions at the lateral cantus. CT scan confirmed the orbital tumor and we considered it to be malignant. The histological examination of a piece of the tumor showed tuberculous characteristics. Patient received treatment with antituberculous drugs and steroids. The tumor decreased after two months of treatment.
