Abstract

We report a case of adrenal schwannoma, an extremely rare retroperitoneal neoplasm. The patient was a 33-year-old man who presented with an abdominal mass that was discovered at abdominal sonography. Computed tomography showed an 8-cm well-circumscribed homogeneous mass that enhanced slightly after intravenous administration of contrast material. Magnetic resonance imaging showed low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and heterogeneously high signal intensity on T2-weighted images. Although these imaging findings are nonspecific, adrenal schwannomas should be included in the differential diagnosis of solid nonfunctioning adrenal tumors.
