Peripheral Nerve Tumors

  • First Online:
Orbital Tumors

Abstract

Peripheral nerve tumors of the orbit arise from cranial nerves III, IV, V, and VI and the ciliary ganglion. These peripheral nerves, in contrast to the optic nerve, are ensheathed by Schwann cells. Some of these tumors may originate from neural or neuroganglionic tissues in the orbit as well. The peripheral nerve tumors covered in this chapter are schwannoma, neurofibroma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), granular cell tumor, alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS), paraganglioma, amputation neuroma, melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy, primary orbital neuroblastoma, and primary orbital carcinoid.
