Granular cell tumors (GCTs) are rare lesions in the breast of putative schwannian origin. These tumors are found in multiple sites throughout the body and have a characteristic histologic appearance. Recognition of these usually benign tumors is important since clinically, radiologically, and grossly GCTs of the breast often mimic carcinoma. The literature on these lesions in the breast is confined to isolated case reports. We describe the epidemiologic, cytologic, pathologic, and radiologic findings in 19 GCTs of the breast in 16 patients diagnosed at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center between 1991 and 1997.
颗粒细胞瘤（GCTs）是一种起源于推测的施万细胞的罕见乳腺病变。这些肿瘤在全身多个部位均可发现，具有特征性的组织学表现。认识这些通常为良性的肿瘤很重要，因为在临床、放射学及大体表现上，乳腺颗粒细胞瘤常与癌相似。关于乳腺这些病变的文献仅限于个别病例报告。我们描述了1991年至1997年间在德克萨斯大学西南医学中心确诊的16例患者的19个乳腺颗粒细胞瘤的流行病学、细胞学、病理学及放射学表现。
