A B-scan ultrasound revealed high density echoes in the superotemporal portion of the capsular bag, and an operative procedure consisting of a sector iridectomy, removal of the implant, removal of white cortical material in the capsular bag as well as residual lens capsule, and an anterior vitrectomy was done. Pathologic examination of the specimens revealed lens material engulfed by large macrophages, foam cells, and plasma cells. The patient's uveitis rapidly subsided.
