Case report 

A 5-year-old girl consulted our ophthalmology clinic for an unusually large swelling in her left eye. It was increasing progressively in size over the last two months before the consultation. She reported no trauma or surgery in the swelling site. Apart from the mass, no other abnormality was noted. Family agreed for surgical excision of the swelling which was performed. Pathological examination revealed a rare tumor called: bulbar conjunctival plexiform schwannoma. This condition is extremely rare in children. This case report confirms that surgical excision is safe, feasible, and effective treatment for this rare condition.

Although it is extremely rare to encounter conjunctival Schwannomas in children it should be considered in ovoidal well circumscribed orbital swellings particularly those appear with no history of trauma or surgery to the eye. Surgical excision is effective and safe therapeutic intervention even in very small children.
