Abstract

Schwannomas (neurilemmomas) are benign neurogenic tumours of peripheral nerves. They originate from Schwann cells, which form the neural sheath. Although Schwannomas and neuroŞbromas 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. Isolated eyelid Schwannomas are reported infrequently. Herein, we describe a case of eyelid Schwannoma in a 50-year-old man. The diagnosis of Schwannoma was made after the eyelid mass was removed by excisional biopsy so this entity should be included in the differential diagnosis of eyelid margin tumours.

Özet

Schwannoma (nörilemmoma) tümörleri periferal sinirlerin iyi huylu nörojenik tümörleridir. Nöral kılıfı oluşturan Schwann hücrelerinden köken alırlar. Schwannoma ve nörofibromlar periferal sinirlerin en sık görülen tümörleri olmalarına rağmen Schwannomalar oftalmik bölgelerde nadiren görülürler. Ortaya çıktıklarında orbita, uvea ve konjonktiva en sık görüldükleri yerlerdir. İzole kapak Schwannomalar çok nadir bildirilmiştir. Burada 50 yaşındaki erkek hastada görülen izole göz kapağı Schwannoma tarif edilmektedir. Göz kapağındaki kitleye eksizyonel biyopsi uygulandıktan sonra Schwannoma tanısının konması bu antitenin göz kapak kenarı tümörlerinin ayırıcı tanısında değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini göstermektedir.
