چکیده
of differentiated neoplastic Schwann cells. The majority arise from peripheral nerves in the head and neck region and nerves of the upper extremity (1). Visceral schwannomas, in particular, juxtadrenal and adrenal schwannomas are exceedingly rare (2,3,4). Adrenal myelolipomas are composed of mature adipose and hematopoetic elements that resemble bone marrow. It was first described by Grieke in 1905, and was named “myelolipoma” by Oberling in 1929 (5,6). Here we describe a giant juxtadrenal and adrenal schwannoma with concurrent adrenal myelolipoma mimicking an adrenal malignant tumor.

Adrenal myelolipoma is a rare benign tumor that is composed of hematopoietic cells and mature fat. Mostly, these nonfunctioning tumors are distinguished incidentally during autopsy or radiologic investigations. Here, we report a case of 46-year-old man presented with nonspecific abdominal pain for one year, who had right adrenal mass with fat density detected by radiologic investigation. Histop...

Advanced imaging often reveals adrenal tumors and tumor-like conditions in both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. When adrenal disease is clinically suspected, cross-sectional imaging can be helpful in evaluating the etiology of the patient's symptoms. When adrenal disease is incidentally identified, what the clinician and patient really want to know is whether the findings are benign or m...
