Abstract

A granular cell tumor (GCT), is a rare soft tissue tumor which may occur throughout the body, usually in the head and neck, skin or subcutaneous tissues of the trunk and upper extremities, and female genital region. A total of 5-8% of all cases of GCTs occur in the breast. GCT of the breast may mimic breast cancer both clinically and radiologically. GCTs are usually benign and solitary; however, approximately 2% occur as malignant tumors. Benign GCTs are treated with wide local excision and are associated with a good prognosis. The current case report presents findings in a patient with a benign form of GCT in a rare location, specifically in the axillary region.
