Abstract:
Granular cell tumor (GCT) of the breast is an unusual neoplasm, tipically
benign, it represents between 5-6% of all GCT cases. These tumors are
more common in middle-aged premenopausal women with a greater pre
dilection African American race [1]. Nevertheless, there are also cases de
scribed in men [2-4]. Almost all of them are favorable, the malignant cases
are uncommon (only 1-3%). Sometimes it could be clinically and radio
logically confused with a malignant breast tumor; so it's very important
to make a differential diagnosis. The choice therapy is an extensive local
extirpation with free margins [5], without the need for adjuvant chemother
apy or radiotherapy. Our case is a 61-year-old woman with a GCT, and
three years ago a history of breast carcinoma in the same breast.
