“…Common incidental findings of AS CT scans show a well-defined border, homogeneous, an ovoid or spherical mass with cystic degeneration or calcification but no invasion or obstruction of the adjacent structures. However, these findings may also be suggestive of malignancy 6,7 .…”

Adrenal schwannoma (AS) is extremely rare. We report on a 36-year-old female patient who presented with right upper abdominal pain. Preoperative computed tomography (CT) showed a 5-cm right adrenal mass. The metabolic work-up was normal. She underwent laparoscopic right adrenalectomy without complications. Microscopy and immunohistochemistry demonstrated a cellular schwannoma. One year after surgery, the patient was fine and without clinical recurrence or metastasis. Usually, the pre-operative diagnosis of AS is challenging and pathologic examination with immunohistochemistry is the only way to make a definite diagnosis.

“…These tumours most commonly arise in the head, neck, and extremities with the most common site being the vestibulocochlear nerve. 1 The frequency of presentation in the adrenal gland is extremely low as only 1-3% of all Schwannomas occur in the retroperitoneum and about 0.2% of all adrenal tumours are Schwannomas. 2,3 , 4 Adrenal Schwannoma usually presents as Incidentaloma on a radiological investigation.…”

Case report of a rare incidentaloma of the adrenal gland—Schwannoma

et al. 2023

The Schwannoma is a benign growth of the nerve sheath cells most commonly seen in the vestibulocochlear nerve. Its prevalence in the adrenal gland is 1-3%. Here we discuss a case that presented as an incidentaloma of the right adrenal gland in a young male patient who had vague abdominal symptoms and a normal hormonal profile. He underwent an excisional biopsy of the right adrenal gland due to the large size of the lesion (more than 4cm). The histopathology report helped to establish the diagnosis of Schwannoma. Incidentaloma is defined as a lesion of the adrenal gland encountered on any radiological investigation carried out for symptoms that are not associated with adrenal pathologies. After discovering such lesions, it is imperative to perform radiological and hormonal investigations in an organised manner to plan further management of such cases. Keywords: Schwannoma, Adrenal Incidentaloma, Adrenocortical Adenoma, Adrenocortical Carcinoma, Adrenalectomy.
