The adrenal schwannomas are very rare nerve tumors; they represent 1 to 10% of all the primitive retroperitoneal tumors. We report the case of a 53-year-old patient followed for left lumbago for 1 year, in whom the ultrasound showed a retro-gastric mass, while the abdominal CT showed a mass probably of left adrenal origin, the balance biological was normal, adrenalectomy was performed, and anapath examination concluded that adrenal schwannoma after immunohistochemical study. The retroperitoneal localization of schwannomas is rare. Few observations of adrenal localization have been described in the literature. Computed tomography and angiography make it possible to specify the origin of the mass. The treatment is surgical. The evolution is marked by the risk of recidivism.
