Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Pathology
  • Surgical Case Reports

Background:

  • Retroperitoneal tumors are uncommon, with adrenal gland neoplasms representing a small subset.
  • Schwannomas, typically benign peripheral nerve sheath tumors, rarely occur in the adrenal gland.

Observation:

  • A 45-year-old male presented with upper abdominal discomfort.
  • Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a left adrenal gland tumor; laboratory tests were normal.
  • Angiography showed a slightly hypervascular adrenal mass.

Findings:

  • The patient underwent left adrenalectomy for the adrenal mass.
  • Pathological examination confirmed a benign schwannoma, predominantly Antoni A type.
  • The resected tumor measured 6.5 x 5.7 x 5.0 cm and weighed 75.5 g.

Implications:

  • This case contributes to the literature on rare adrenal gland tumors.
  • Highlights the importance of considering schwannoma in the differential diagnosis of adrenal masses.
  • Provides a surgical case example for retroperitoneal schwannoma management.
