Abstract
Neurilemoma (schwannoma) of the conjunctiva is a rare ocular tumor. We report 3 cases of benign conjunctival neurilemoma occurring in women without other ocular or systemic disease. Two of these tumors arose fr om the bulbar conjunctiva and 1 from the tarsal conjunctiva. Immunoper oxidase staining for S-100 protein was positive in each case.
