Plexiform schwannoma of the lacrimal gland of the palpebral lobe has not been previously described. This 41-year-old male presented with a 2-year history of a left upper eyelid mass and associated regional irritation. MRI of the head and orbits confirmed a left superolateral multinodular mass centered on the palpebral lobe of the left lacrimal gland. Excision revealed a schwannoma of the plexiform subtype.
