    (2018) Beatriz J Perez-Aragon; I Gonzalez-Olhovich; J. A. Cortés; Daniel R. Capiz-Correa; Abelardo Rodríguez-Reyes
    We present a rare case of a peripheral orbital nerve schwannoma. This patient was a 37-year-old man with a lesion that appeared 10 years ago and has gradually enlarged. Examination showed a space-occupying lesion in the right orbit that was firm to palpation, adherent to deep planes, painless and displaced the right eye inferiorly. Computed tomography showed a homogeneous orbital mass that was isodense to the brain parenchyma, encapsulated and did not invade adjacent structures. Complete tumour resection is performed, and pathologic examination showed a schwannoma. Overall orbital Schwannomas are infrequent tumours arising from the orbit coming behind Inflammatory, vascular and lymphoproliferative diseases, treatment is complete resection of the lesion with subsequent monitoring to prevent recurrence.
