Eyelid schwannoma (neurilemmomas) is an extremely rare, benign neoplasm. A case of Cystic Schwannoma in eyelid of a young adult is reported. A 19-year-old male presented with a firm-nodular painless lesion, 3.5 cms in diameter, located on the left lower eyelid for the last 2 years. The lesion was surgically excised. Histopathological diagnosis of cystic schwannoma was made. Immunohistochemistry revealed strong S-100 positivity indicative of Schwann cell origin. No recurrance was seen after a follow up of 1 year.
