The initial clinical data might be a painful mass and/or several sensitive-motor symptoms. A case of an epithelioid malignant schwannoma, observed during the study of a patient suffering from dorso-lumbar pain and adrenal insufficiency because due to tumoral affection, which is a non-frequent manifestation, is presented. It has not been described before in national medical literature.
