Granular cell tumors are uncommon benign neoplasms. Their location is mostly in the head and neck region; appearance in other parts of the body is rare, but it has been reported. We present the case of a 14-year-old girl with a granular cell tumor of the trachea. The tumor was incidentally found at bronchoscopy performed to exclude suspected foreign body aspiration. It was located in the ventral part of the main carina. Biopsies revealed the histologic pattern of a benign granular cell tumor. The girl underwent resection of the main carina followed by reconstruction of a neo-carina with both main bronchi. She has not had any recurrence of the tumor during 3 years of follow-up.
颗粒细胞瘤是罕见的良性肿瘤。其位置大多在头颈部区域;在身体其他部位出现较为罕见,但已有报道。我们报告一例14岁女孩患气管颗粒细胞瘤的病例。该肿瘤在为排除疑似异物吸入而进行的支气管镜检查中偶然发现。它位于主隆突的腹侧部分。活检显示为良性颗粒细胞瘤的组织学模式。该女孩接受了主隆突切除,随后用两个主支气管重建了新隆突。在3年的随访期间,她的肿瘤没有任何复发。
