Popis: Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral rebound iritis complicated by a subacute, transient, well-circumscribed anterior chamber mass.Methods and Observations: Observational case report of a 59-year-old female with recent ocular history of bilateral cataract surgery and poor post-operative medication compliance who was found to have bilateral rebound iritis and a globular, pedunculated anterior chamber mass attached to the posterior chamber intraocular lens in the right eye. Slit lamp photographs were taken, and after three days of topical steroid administration, the mass resolved with only a mild, residual iritis.Conclusions and Importance: Post-operative fibrinous exudates are occasionally encountered immediately after intraocular surgery, however, there have been no reports in the literature to the best of our knowledge of a subacute anterior chamber mass in such a well-circumscribed configuration as we report. This case study raises awareness of a peculiar structural form in which a subacute, post-operative fibrin clot may present.
