The authors report the first case of perineurioma of the adrenal gland. The tumor was composed of elongated wavy spindle cells focally arranged in a fascicular pattern. It was positive for epithelial membrane antigen (EMA) and claudin-1, and was negative for S-100 protein and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). Electron microscopy showed long, slender cytoplasmic processes coated by discontinuos basal lamina and presence of many pinocytotic vesicles.

In this case report, we present a man in his 60s who presented with an incidentally discovered right adrenal mass, which turned out to be an adrenal schwannoma. This is a very rare tumour that originates from Schwann cells and involves the peripheral nerves. The tumour was removed by open adrenalectomy, and this 15-cm adrenal schwannoma is one of the largest reported in the literature, with none >16 cm having ever been reported.

Background: Inflammatory rhabdomyoblastic tumors are relatively recently recognized soft tissue tumors with a low malignant potential. Here, we present a case of concurrent inflammatory rhabdomyoblastic tumor (IRMT), adrenal pheochromocytoma, and pulmonary hamartoma in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1). To our knowledge, this is the first time that this constellation of tumors has been described in the literature.

We presented the clinical case of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) associated with pheochromocytoma (PHEO) in a man under 40 years old without family history. The diagnosis of NF-1 was established based on 4 signs of the disease (multiple café au lait macules, scoliotic changes in posture, the presence of multiple neurofibromas, Lisch nodules). The diagnosis of PHEO was determined by a significant increase of free metanephrin/normethanephrin levels in daily urine, a malignant CT phenotype of the right adrenal tumor, and confirmed by pathomorphological study.
