Abstract
We report a rare case of multiple retroperitoneal schwannomas, initially believed to be an adrenal carcinoma with metastasis. These benign tumors were discovered in a patient presenting with vague back pain. Preoperative radiographic and endocrine evaluations suggested a nonfunctioning adrenal tumor. The final diagnosis and its juxta-adrenal origin were confirmed by histological and immunohistochemical studies. A review of the literature on retroperitoneal schwannoma is included.Keywords
