AI Article Synopsis
- Schwannomas in the retroperitoneal space, particularly adrenal schwannomas, are uncommon and can be misdiagnosed due to a lack of clear imaging features.
- The case presented involves a patient who experienced vague abdominal pain and was initially thought to have an adrenocortical tumor, resulting in robotic adrenalectomy treatment.
- Post-surgery, histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnosis as schwannoma, prompting a review of relevant literature on this rare tumor type.
Article Abstract
Schwannomas arises from retroperitoneal space are rare tumors. Adrenal Schwannomas are often misdiagnosed due to deficient of distinctive radiological findings. We report a case of adrenal schwannoma presented with vague abdominal pain. Initially, the patient was diagnosed as adrenocortical tumor that was treated with robotic adrenalectomy. Histopathological and immuno-histochemical examination revealed schwannoma. We will report the case and review the literature regarding this rare tumor.

Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare malignant neoplasm originating from the adrenal cortex, presenting limited therapeutic options. An avenue for improving therapeutic efficacy may involve a deeper understanding of the role of adrenocortical stem/progenitor cells in the pathogenesis of this disease. Although existing data suggest stem/progenitor characteristics in certain cell populations within ACC, the challenge remains to identify adrenocortical stem cell markers directly involved in its carcinogenesis.

We report a case of a very rare association of adrenal adenoma, unilateral adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral renal artery stenosis. A 61-year-old man with a remarkable history of two severe strokes was admitted to the Nephrology department with hypertension associated with severe hypokalemia and metabolic alkalosis. Doppler of renal arteries was not conclusive, so contrast-enhanced scanning was done revealing a left adrenal adenoma, right adrenal hyperplasia, and bilateral moderate renal artery stenosis.

Oncocytic adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignant adrenal cortical tumor with limited documented case reports. Herein, a 65-year-old female patient presented with a large, solid adrenal mass. A diagnosis of oncocytic ACC was rendered with the following tumor characteristics: The tumor entirely consists of diffuse sheets of polygonal cells with bizarre nuclear atypia and deeply eosinophilic cytoplasm.

Background: Cachexia is a leading cause of death among individuals with advanced cancer, yet effective pharmacological treatments are lacking. In this single-center retrospective study, we aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of tocilizumab for the treatment of cancer cachexia accompanied by systemic hyperinflammation.
Methods: Data were collected from 20 patients treated with tocilizumab and a control group of 20 patients matched for age, sex, and comorbidities.

Aspergillus-related immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a challenge to diagnose in immunocompromised pediatric cancer patients with Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA). If not recognized, it can mimic disease progression and lead to overtreatment. Studies on Aspergillus-related IRIS in the pediatric population are scarce.
