A 23‐year‐old male presented with progressive blurred vision in his right eye for three weeks. Ocular examination by a slit‐lamp demonstrated an accumulation of a turbid cream‐colored material at the bottom of the anterior chamber (AC) of the eyeball. An AC paracentesis was carried out, obtaining 0.5 ml of non‐transparent fluid,and a diagnosis was made.
