Schwannoma, also known as neurilemmoma, is a benign peripheral nerve sheath tumor arising from Schwann cells. Schwannoma of ocular area are very rare with most common being in the orbit. The eyelid schwannoma are very rare with only limited number of cases published till date. Here we report a case of 26 year female who presented with a slow growing mass on upper eyelid since 10 years. Histopathological examination of the mass showed features of schwannoma. The lesion was positive for S100 on immunohistochemistry confirming the lesion. Eyelid schwannoma although rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of eyelid lesions. Excision of the lesion is the recommended treatment.
