  • Title: Benign retroperitoneal schwannoma presenting as a giant adrenal tumor.
    Author: Hettiarachchi JA, Finkelstein MP, Schwartz AM, Johnson GB, Konno S, Choudhury MS.
    Journal: Urol Int; 2003; 71(2):231-2. PubMed ID: 12890971.
    Abstract:
    We report a 51-year-old man with a primary adrenal tumor presenting as a giant juxta-adrenal benign schwannoma. The patient was initially admitted for persistent fevers and underwent a sepsis workup. Abdominal ultrasound initially revealed an incidental right suprarenal mass, which measured 10 x 10 x 11 cm, estimated by computed tomography. Following a successful laparotomy, histologic examination confirmed that this giant tumor was a benign retroperitoneal schwannoma. Postoperatively, the patient remains disease-free, undergoing rehabilitation.
