We present a 56-year-old female referred to our institution for a history of abdominal discomfort and a left adrenal solid mass incidentally discovered in USG. Patient underwent surgical excision of the tumour. Histopathologic examination showed a neoplasm composed of cells arranged in interlacing fascicles with alternating hyper and hypo cellular areas, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) showed positive for S100 compatible with adrenal schwannoma.
