In this paper, we report a case of bilobed schwannoma, presented in the roof of orbit arising from supraorbital nerve. A 62-year male presented with a nontender mass in superior part of orbit and eccentric proptosis. Visual acuity and rest of ocular examination were normal. CT scan and MRI orbit revealed an extraconal homogenous bilobed mass, of size 3.5 to 2.5 cms in roof of orbit. Fine needle aspiration cytology was done, which was suggestive of schwannoma a peripheral nerve tumor. Successful surgical excision of intact bilobed schwannoma was done with careful separation and preservation of supraorbital nerve from which it was originated. Postoperative period was uneventful though rare, less than 1%, schwannoma can present as painless mass in the orbit and proptosis. Treatment of choice is surgical excision of intact tumor to prevent recurrence and preservation of peripheral nerve from which it arises.

While peripheral nerve schwannomas have a relatively low incidence, schwannomatosis, the condition in which one forms multiple recurring schwannomas, is an even rarer phenomenon and can be hard to detect given its ability to mimic other conditions. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented with a mass in his left wrist and forearm, volar pain in his forearm, and numbness in his fingers. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a bilobed heterogeneous neural sheath tumor in the distal left ulnar nerve.

Schwannomas are benign nerve tumours arising from the Schwann cells. Approximately 25-45% of schwannomas occurs in the head and neck region. Majority of schwannomas in the head and neck region arise from the vagus nerve.

Intraosseous schwannomas are rare benign tumors that most often occur at the mandible or sacrum. We present an unusual case of a bilobed schwannoma of the distal humerus with both intraosseous and extraosseous components. The extraosseous component was non-enhancing on initial MRI and enhanced on a subsequent MRI obtained after biopsy.

Trigeminal schwannomas are rare benign tumors, it is second most common intracranial schwannomas after vestibular schwannomas. The management includes not limited to observation, stereotactic radiosurgery/radiotherapy, and/or surgical resection. Tumor size and patient clinical status are the most important factors in management.
