Manu Sharma

Abstract :

65 years old male presented with right upper eyelid mass since 2 years. It was painless, gradually increasing in size. No history of trauma, surgery, any other mass lesion and no systemic complaints. His only concern was people told him that it does not look nice. He was concerned about his appearance. So successfully removed the cyst by excision biopsy, on histopathology examination sample contained fusiform cells with wavy nuclei arranged in fascicles suggestive of neurofioma. Systemic examination revealed no any other association. Patient regained good cosmesis and diagnosed as had a neurofioma. Diagnosis is important as there is possibility of recurrence , transformation to malignant lesion and the association of systemic malignancy. So, neurofioma should be one of the differential diagnosis of any tarsal cyst and ophthalmologists should be aware of that.
