Abstract
Schwannomas, arising from the nerve sheath, are rare tumors of the orbit. They may present with various clinical presentations depending on localization of tumors in the orbit and the nerve from which they arise. Therefore, they should be considered as differential diagnosis of orbital disease. In this study, the case of isolated orbital schwannoma is discussed in the light of the literature. A 41 year old female patient was referred to the hospital with a painless mass localized near the inferior part of the left orbit. Eye examination of the patient was normal except for the mass. Orbital computerized tomography showed a wellbordered, solid soft- tissue lesion measuring 15x10 mm in size, located in the extraconal space of the inferolateral orbit. As a result of the histopatholgical examination of the totally excised mass, the diagnosis was established as benign shwannoma. No complications were observed during the one-year follow-up of the patient

Abstract
Schwannomlar sinir kılıfından köken alan, orbitada nadir görülen tümörlerdir. Orbitada lokalizasyonuna ve orijin aldığı sinire göre pek çok klinik prezentasyonla karşımıza çıkabilir. Bu nedenle orbita hastalıklarında ayırıcı tanı açısından önem arz eder. Bu çalışmada, izole orbital schwannoma olgusu literatür ışığında tartışıldı. 41 yaşındaki bayan hasta sol alt orbita kenarına lokalize ağrısız kitle ile başvurdu. Kitle dışında göz muayenesi normal olan hastanın orbital bilgisayarlı tomografisinde 15X10 mm boyutlarında orbita inferolateralinde ekstrakonal yerleşimli iyi sınırlı solit yumuşak doku lezyonu izlendi. Total olarak çıkarılan kitlenin histopatolojik incelemesinde tanı benign schwannom olarak rapor edildi. Hastanın1 yıllık takibinde herhangi bir komplikasyonla karşılaşılmadı.
