Posterior scleritis rarely presents as a large 'intraocular tumour' and continues to be a challenge in diagnosis and management. We present the case of a 66-year-old male with no known rheumatic disease, pain, proptosis, or diplopia, but with progressively decreasing visual acuity and a large, discrete 'subretinal tumour', 15 X 17 mm basal diameter and 8.3 mm apical height. Histologically the tumour was shown to be grossly thickened and necrotic sclera.

: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, primarily affects the gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, extraintestinal manifestations may occur in the liver, musculoskeletal system and eyes. Its etiology remains unknown, and further research is required in order to develop pharmacological drugs which achieve complete remission of the pathology.

Autoimmune uveitis and posterior scleritis are ocular diseases caused by immune dysregulation. Their pathogenesis remains elusive, and delayed diagnosis can exacerbate vision loss. Our study analyzed proteomic profiles of 190 patients with Behcet's disease uveitis, posterior scleritis, and Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome.

Nodular posterior scleritis is an uncommon inflammatory disorder of the eye characterized by nodular lesions that may be similar to other intraocular conditions such as choroidal melanoma, leading to diagnostic difficulties. This case report and literature review aims to evaluate the demographics, modalities, treatment, and outcomes of nodular posterior scleritis. We describe a 41-year-old female patient who presented with diminished vision in her left eye.
