Dr Sonal Gowaikar, Dr Ankita Chavan, Dr Milind Sabnis
Abstract :
Schwannoma, also referred to as neurilemmoma, is a benign tumor of peripheral nerve arising from Schwann cells that form the neural sheath. They occur most often as solitary tumor but on occasion as multiple lesions. Schwannoma of ophthalmic interest is rare although it has been reported in relation with the orbit, and less frequently with the uveal tract and conjunctiva. Isolated eyelid, eyeow schwannoma is extremely uncommon. We report a case of a 21–year–old male who developed eyeow Schwannoma. The mass was surgically removed by excisional biopsy. The histopathologic examination showed Schwannoma.
