Case report on epibulbar conjunctival schwannoma: A rare occurrence

Schwannomas involving the epibulbar conjunctiva are extremely rare and have been scantily reported in literature. In our case, a 35-year-old healthy man presented with a pinkish, highly vascular, and globular mass involving the conjunctiva in the nasal quadrant of the right eye. The mass was completely excised, and histopathology of said mass revealed an encapsulated tumor, with its cells displaying elongated nuclei and few Verocay bodies with palisaded nuclei, all of which were suggestive of schwannoma. This case thus highlights schwannoma as a differential diagnosis of conjunctival masses.
