Granular cell tumors are generally benign oncocytoid lesions of schwannian origin that are often incidental findings in many locations. Gastrointestinal stromal tumors occur in older adults and express the c-Kit protein (CD117). Both of these tumors have been described in association with many other entities; however, they have never been reported to occur jointly. This report is prompted by the simultaneous appearance of 2 granular cell tumors, a gastrointestinal stromal tumor, and a gastric adenocarcinoma in a 65-year-old woman with a history of breast carcinoma and granular cell tumor. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of these tumors occurring simultaneously.
颗粒细胞瘤通常是起源于雪旺氏细胞的良性嗜酸性细胞瘤性病变,常在许多部位偶然发现。胃肠道间质瘤发生于老年人,表达c-Kit蛋白(CD117)。这两种肿瘤都曾被描述与许多其他实体相关;然而,从未有它们同时发生的报道。本报告源于一名有乳腺癌和颗粒细胞瘤病史的65岁女性同时出现2个颗粒细胞瘤、1个胃肠道间质瘤和1个胃腺癌。据我们所知,这是这些肿瘤同时发生的首例病例报告。
