Abstract
A 70 year old female patient, a known case of albinism, presented with forward protrusion of right eye for the past 15 days and defective vision since birth. She was found to have an eccentric painful proptosis of right eye along with ocular features suggestive of Oculo cutaneous albinism. On detailed evaluation, the proptosis was found to be due to a retrobulbar mass which proved to be a Neurofibroma confirmed clinically and radiologically. The case is presented for its rarity, as a combination of neurofibroma and oculocutaneous albinism in the same patient is unusual and has never been reported.
