A case is reported of a 72‐year‐old man with an intruded scleral buckle presenting 30 years after retinal detachment repair. The lesion was noted incidentally and occupied the superotemporal retinal periphery. The diagnosis was confirmed by B‐scan ultrasonography and external examination of the globe. The patient was treated conservatively. No clinical change was evident after 12 months follow up.
