title: Intraocular wooden foreign body clinically resembling a pearl cyst.
abstract: Five years after injuring his right eye with a wooden arrow, an 11-year-old boy had an iris lesion resembling a pearl cyst. Surgery demonstrated an intraocular wooden foreign body. Wooden foreign bodies are uncommon but may be surprisingly well tolerated if uncontaminated. A differential diagnosis of iris mass lesions in the posttraumatic eye is provided.
