A Therapeutic and Diagnostic Dilemma : Granular Cell Tumor of the Breast

الملخص EN

Six to eight percent of granular cell tumors are seen in the breast.

Although mostly benign, they rarely have malignant features clinically and radiologically reminding of breast cancer.

This may lead to a potential misdiagnosis of breast carcinoma and overtreatment of patients.

The final diagnosis is made by immunohistochemical examination.

The histopathological examination of the mass revealed granular cell tumor.
