title: Schwannoma of the lower eyelid in a 13-year-old girl.
abstract: A 13-year-old girl presented with a history of a slowly enlarging, mobile, right lower eyelid mass of 2 years' duration. Excisional biopsy revealed the characteristic histopathologic features of a schwannoma. After complete excision, there was no recurrence at 1-year follow-up. Schwannoma is a rare eyelid tumor, appearing sporadically and in a solitary form, which should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid tumors in children.
