“…In the periocular area, the orbit is the most common site and accounts for 1 % of all orbital tumors [1]. Conjunctival schwannoma is extremely rare; to our knowledge only 13 cases have been reported in the literature and only one case has so far been published in Korea [2]. We report here a second case of schwannoma arising in the epibulbar conjunctiva.…”

Purpose: We report a rare case of solitary neurofibroma on the eyelid margin without neurofibromatosis. Case summary: A 46-year-old male presented with a well-define small nodular lesion on the right upper eyelid margin that had not changed for 10 years. Surgical excision and biopsy were performed. Histological examination showed spindle-shaped cells in the fibrous stroma on hematoxylin & eosin staining, and immunohistochemical staining revealed S-100 protein-positive cells. Dermatologic, neurologic, and genetic evaluations showed no evidence of systemic neurofibromatosis. Six months after operation, there was no evidence of local recurrence. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of solitary neurofibroma involving the eyelid margin without neurofibromatosis in Korea. Neurofibroma should be considered in a differential diagnosis of eyelid mass and can be successfully managed with surgical excision. J Korean Ophthalmol Soc 2017;58(2):222-225

A female aged 42 years presented to us for routine eye examination and was found to have a well-circumscribed, firm, smooth, oval nodule at the limbus of the right eye. It had increased slowly to the present size in 7 years. It is unique in being the first and largest limbal schwannoma to be reported from India. The patient had no visual or cosmetic concern. Excision followed by histopathologic evaluation revealed its nature. Special staining (S100 and reticulin) revealed it to be of neurogenic origin. Schwannomas of ophthalmic interest include those arising from the orbit. Within the globe, they have been reported to arise from the uvea. Conjunctival schwannomas are extremely rare. Role of gene mutation as a causal factor has been studied when schwannoma occurs as a part of Carney complex. Association with multiple neurofibromatosis is also documented.
