Six to eight percent of granular cell tumors are seen in the breast. Although mostly benign, they rarely have malignant features clinically and radiologically reminding of breast cancer. This may lead to a potential misdiagnosis of breast carcinoma and overtreatment of patients. The final diagnosis is made by immunohistochemical examination. We performed excisional biopsy on a patient who was diagnosed to have a breast mass. The histopathological examination of the mass revealed granular cell tumor.
6%至8%的颗粒细胞瘤发生于乳腺。虽然大多为良性,但它们在临床和影像学上很少具有类似于乳腺癌的恶性特征。这可能导致对乳腺癌的潜在误诊以及患者的过度治疗。最终诊断通过免疫组织化学检查做出。我们对一名被诊断患有乳腺肿块的患者进行了切除活检。肿块的组织病理学检查显示为颗粒细胞瘤。
