NEURILEMMOMA (SCHWANNOMA) OF UPPER EYELID

A rare endobronchial neurilemmoma (Schwannoma).

Primary neurogenic tumors of the lung are rare. Often, their histologic behavior presents a treatment dilemma. We present a case of benign endobronchial neurilemmoma managed by means of YAG laser resection together with a brief discussion of the management options available for these tumors.

Superficial epithelioid schwannoma presenting as a subcutaneous upper eyelid mass.

scleritis have been reported following pterygium surgery,3 scleral buckling procedures4 and cataract surgery.5 Trauma has been described as a cause for mycotic scleritis,67 but our patient did not recall any eye injury. Although these reported cases refer to exogenous infections, with agents other than A niger, they do show similarities to our case. Clinically, severe headaches and periocular p...

PATIENT Case report of a 38-year-old woman with an intraosseous schwannoma of the cervical spine. RESULTS After local curettage no evidence for local recurrence at long-term follow-up.

Isolated Schwannoma of the Upper Eyelid Margin in a 50-year-old Male

Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are benign neurogenic tumours of peripheral nerves. They originate from Schwann cells, which form the neural sheath. Although Schwannomas and neurofibromas are the most common primary peripheral nerve tumours, Schwannomas are rarely observed in ophthalmic areas. When they occur, ocular Schwannomas are usually located in the orbit, uveal tract and conjunctiva. Isolate...
