Abstract
Benign retroperitoneal schwannoma is a rare tumor originating from the schwann cells in the myelinated neural sheath and mostly manifested as an adrenal mass. However, there are reports of developing of this tumor within or in front of psoas muscle(8) or other parts of the body. We report a benign retroperitoneal schwannoma, incidentally detected through imaging, mimicking an adrenal mass.
