A 57-year-old male presented with defective vision in his right eye, which was associated with mild periocular pain. Fundus examination showed a large dome-shaped yellowish-orange subretinal mass in the macular region and exudative retinal detachment (RD). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a 16 mm \u00d7 8 mm choroidal mass, which was hyperintense on T1-weighted images and hypointense on T2-weighted images. B-scan ultrasonography revealed a dome-shaped mass with homogeneous echogenicity, inferior RD, and fluid collection in the sub-Tenon space. There was no choroidal excavation. He was diagnosed as nodular posterior scleritis (NPS) with exudative RD in the right eye. The lesion regressed completely after treatment with oral steroids. Choroidal mass can pose a diagnostic dilemma to ophthalmologists. Atypical MRI features can further augment the confusion. Despite its low incidence, NPS should always be kept as a differential in the presence of an amelanotic choroidal mass.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/tjo.tjo_20_21","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,19]],"date-time":"2021-07-19T06:20:01Z","timestamp":1626675601000},"page":"408-412","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Nodular posterior scleritis \u2013 The great masquerader"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Naresh","family":"Babu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karthik","family":"Kumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anubhav","family":"Upadhayay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piyush","family":"Kohli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-16-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"518","DOI":"10.1016\/S0161-6420(80)35201-9","article-title":"The differential diagnosis of posterior uveal melanoma","volume":"87","author":"Shields","year":"1980","journal-title":"Ophthalmology"},{"key":"R2-16-20240830","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"767","DOI":"10.1097\/00006982-200509000-00013","article-title":"Pseudomelanomas of the posterior uveal tract: The 2006 Taylor R.
