Abstract

PURPOSE
To report one case of neurilemoma of the bulbar conjunctiva with a review of the relevant literature. CASE SUMMARY: A 15-year-old girl presented with a bulbar conjunctival mass in the right eye. There were no other medical or ophthalmologic problems. The patient wanted to remove the mass for cosmetic reasons. We performed an excisional biopsy and simple wound closure. The mass was composed of bipolar spindle shaped cells that were arranged in bundles and fascicles in dense fibrous tissue. Immunohistochemical staining for the S-100 protein was positive. Two months after mass excision, there was no evidence of recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: We successfully treated a case of bulbar conjunctival neuriliemoma by simple excision.
