Title: Ancient schwannoma of the orbit. Author: Pecorella I, Toth J, Lukats O. Journal: Pathologica; 2012 Aug; 104(4):182-4. PubMed ID: 23316621. Abstract: Schwannoma, also referred to as neurilemmoma or peripheral neurinoma, is an unusual orbital benign tumour that may pose diagnostic challenges. Awareness of the clinical features that may be associated with the tumour and prompt surgical excision with histopathologic examination enable correct diagnosis. The authors describe a progressively increasing inferolateral orbital mass in a 32-year-old patient that was demonstrated to be an orbital ancient schwannoma.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
