: To describe a case of multiple disseminated choroidal tuberculomas in a patient of early-phase Vogt-Koyanagi- Harada (VKH) disease being treated with Azathioprine.: A retrospective chart review.: A 55-year-old female, a diagnosed case of VKH disease, was being treated with oral steroids and Azathioprine. During one of her follow-up visit, she was detected with multiple subretinal granulomas with surrounding fluid in both eyes. Fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), Indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) favored the presence of choroidal granulomas and Positron emission Tomography (PET) scan revealed lesions in spleen as well. She was started on anti-tubercular therapy along with oral steroids. She responded very well to treatment and her choroidal granulomas resolved in follow-up.: Disseminated tubercular granulomas can rarely occur with the use of oral Azathioprine and poses caution for its use in cases requiring long-term immunosuppressants.
