Popis: A 48-year-old female presented to our institute with complaints of diminution of vision in right eye since 3 months. No other ocular complaints. Past history and family history was not significant. Ocular examination revealed visual acuity of 6/60 in right eye and 6/18 in left eye. Anterior segment was normal in both eyes. On dilated fundus evaluation, distant direct ophthalmoscopy showed a mass projecting behind the lens in inferotemporal quadrant from 6 to 9 o’clock position (Figure 1).

It was associated with retinal detachment from 4-8 o’clock position in inferior quadrant, macula was spared.
