Epibulbar conjunctival Schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of subconjunctival masses

Bu makalede 33 yaşında, 5 yıllık bir subkonjonktival kitle öyküsü olan erkek hastayı sunduk. İmmünohistokimyasal analizde tümör hücreleri S-100 proteine pozitif yanıt verdi. Bu nadir görülen vakayı sunarak oftalmologların subkonjonktival kitlelerin tanısında schwannomayı da düşünmelerini istedik.

subconjunctival masses Subkonjonktival kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında epibulber konjonktival Schwannoma

Here, in this study a case of a 33-year-old man presented with a 5-year history of subconjunctival mass is reported. During the immunohistochemical analysis, the tumor cells were strongly positive for S-100 protein. Herein, presenting this rare case of ours, we imply that ophthalmologists should consider schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of subconjuntival masses.
