Adrenal Schwannoma: Case Description and Diagnostic Pointers of a Rare Disease

Benign nerve sheath tumours such as schwannomas commonly involve the peripheral and cranial nerves. A schwannoma in the adrenal gland is a very rare occurrence, which arises from the adrenal medulla. Its most common presentation is a non-functional incidentaloma. It does not have any unique imaging...

description Benign nerve sheath tumours such as schwannomas commonly involve the peripheral and cranial nerves. A schwannoma in the adrenal gland is a very rare occurrence, which arises from the adrenal medulla. Its most common presentation is a non-functional incidentaloma. It does not have any unique imaging characteristic distinguishing it from other adrenal masses; hence, its diagnosis is usually confirmed by final histopathology. In this report, we present two cases of an adrenal schwannoma for which we anticipated an unusual diagnosis, which was confirmed through adrenalectomy on histopathology.
