Fig. 1 Clinical and histological appearance of conjunctival epibulbar schwannoma. (A) Clinical photograph of the mass. On simple down gaze, the mass was barely seen. (B) When mild digital pressure applied on superotemporal area with same gaze, the whole mass was exposed. (C) On orbital magnetic resonance imaging of T1-weighted image, well circumscribed homogeneous mass (arrow) was found in the left superolateral orbit. (D,E) Histopathologic finding revealed alternating rows of densely palisaded elongated nuclei (arrows) and anuclear eosinophilic zones (arrowheads) composing Verocay bodies (asterisk) within Antoni A areas. Looser, less cellular Antoni B areas are found immediately adjacent. Informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images.
