Adrenal schwannoma is a rare tumor of Schwann cell origin that represents less than 0.2% of all adrenal tumors. These typically benign tumors are most often found in the head, neck, and limbs. However, schwannomas can also rarely occur rarely in the adrenal gland within the retroperitoneal cavity. In the adrenal gland, these tumors arise from the medulla and are difficult to diagnose, often misdiagnosed as other benign or malignant entities. In this article, we report the case of a 43-year-old female with a large left adrenal mass revealed by biopsy to be a schwannoma. We focus on the use of radiological imaging modalities and immunohistochemical analysis to optimize diagnosis and treatment intervention of this rare tumor.
肾上腺神经鞘瘤是一种罕见的起源于施万细胞的肿瘤，占所有肾上腺肿瘤的比例不到0.2%。这些通常为良性的肿瘤最常发生于头、颈和四肢。然而，神经鞘瘤也很少发生于腹膜后腔的肾上腺。在肾上腺中，这些肿瘤起源于髓质，难以诊断，常被误诊为其他良性或恶性病变。在本文中，我们报告了一例43岁女性，其左肾上腺有一巨大肿块，活检显示为神经鞘瘤。我们着重介绍了放射影像学检查方法和免疫组化分析在优化这种罕见肿瘤的诊断和治疗干预中的应用。
