  • Fig. 1 Clinical and histological appearance of eyelid schwannoma. (A) Case 1: Eyelid mass on the left lower eyelid. (B) Case 1: Well-circumscribed, elongated spindle cells formed palisades, consistent with Antoni type A tissue (hematoxylin and eosin [H&E], ×200). (C) Case 1: Strong reactivity for S-100 protein. (D) Case 2: Eyelid mass on the left lower eyelid. (E) Case 2: Spindle cells formed palisades, consistent with Antoni type A tissue (H&E, ×200). (F) Case 3: Eyelid mass on the left upper eyelid. (G) Case 3: Compact arrangements of spindle cells with Verocay bodies forming palisades, consistent with Antoni type A tissue (H&E, ×200). (H) Case 3: Intense positive staining with S-100 protein. (I) Case 4: Eyelid mass on the right upper eyelid. (J) Spindle cells with palisading pattern, consistent with Antoni type A tissue (H&E, ×200).
