ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
The schwannoma is a tumor originating from Schwann cell proliferation. Schwannoma is a rare disease, making up only 1% of all the tumors that develop in the orbit. Schwannomas usually arise from the choroids or the ciliary body, and occurrence in the conjunctiva is especially rare. Few cases have been reported worldwide, and no cases have been reported in Korea thus far. We report our case along with a literature review. CASESUMMARY:
A 31-year-old male patient visited our department with a history of discomfort of in his right eye for the past 5 years caused by a bulbar conjunctival mass. On ophthalmologic examination, a 5x3x3 mm, elevated, yellowish mass with a smooth surface was observed on the bulbar conjunctiva adjacent to the superonasal limbus near the 2 o'clock area of the right eye. We performed excision and biopsy for diagnosis and treatment of the bulbar conjunctival mass and confirmed the pathologic report for the diagnosis of schwannoma.
