Resumen

Adrenal schwannomas are rare and uncommon causes of adrenal incidentaloma. The lack of specific clinical and imaging features makes the diagnosis of adrenal schwannomas difficult, requiring histopathological studies to establish a definitive diagnosis. In this report, we present the incidental finding and surgical management of an adrenal incidentaloma.A 61-year-old woman who was evaluated for chronic abdominal pain was found to have a left adrenal mass. Further studies showed a benign adrenal schwannoma. This case illustrates the challenge that represents to make the correct diagnosis of an adrenal mass according to its clinical and radiological features.
