title: Pigmented free-floating retrolental space cyst.
abstract: We report an unusual case of a free-floating pigmented retrolental cyst, which was diagnosed after examination by slitlamp, B-scan ultrasonography, and ultrasound biomicroscopy. Pigmented cysts, which may arise from the ciliary body epithelium, are embryologically and morphologically different from clear cysts.
