Fig. 1 (A) Photograph of the patient's eye at the time of his first visit. A mass (black arrow) at the medial canthus with drooped eyelid skin is observed. (B) Orbit computed tomography image shows an ill-defined enhancing soft tissue lesion (white arrow) at the medial canthal area of the right orbit. (C) Photograph of the patient's eye after complete excision of nerve sheath myxoma. The mass at the medial canthus and drooped eyelid skin had disappeared (black arrow). (D) Histopathologic analysis revealed epithelioid and stellate neoplastic Schwann cells (black arrow) with an abundant myxoid matrix (H&E, ×400). (E) Immunohistochemical staining for S-100 showed a strong positivity (S-100, ×200). Written informed consent from the patient was obtained.
