Primer Adrenal Schwannom : A Rare Case
Abstract
Solitary-cystic Schwannoma arising from adrenal gland
is seen extremely rare. Its frequency in
our country is unknown. Schwannomas are responsible for 1-5% of all
retroperitoneal masses and clinical signs are non-specific. They are diagnosed
incidentally as in our case and generally their first sign is referred pain. CT
and MR are important screening methods. However, the final diagnosis is made by
pathological examination. The prognosis is excellent after total resection. It
is valuable to present the primary adrenal schwannoma arising from adrenal
gland because of its rare incidence in all of the world thus this is the first case in our country.
