Abstract

Schwannomas, originating from the Schwann sheath of peripheral or cranial nerves, are rare tumors commonly found in the head and neck or extremities. Adrenal schwannomas, however, are exceedingly rare, accounting for less than 1% of all adrenal tumors. Here, we present a case of a 31-year-old Caucasian woman diagnosed with an adrenal schwannoma, which was incidentally discovered during imaging studies for an unrelated issue. Following laparoscopic adrenalectomy, the patient developed chylous ascites (CA) and coexistent chylothorax, posing a diagnostic challenge and necessitating a multidisciplinary approach to management.
