Abstract
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.
