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.
良性神经鞘瘤,如施万细胞瘤,通常累及周围神经和颅神经。肾上腺施万细胞瘤极为罕见,起源于肾上腺髓质。其最常见的表现是无功能的意外瘤。它没有任何独特的影像学特征可将其与其他肾上腺肿块区分开来;因此,其诊断通常通过最终的组织病理学来证实。在本报告中,我们呈现了两例肾上腺施万细胞瘤病例,我们预期会有不寻常的诊断结果,最终通过肾上腺切除术及组织病理学得以证实。
