Granular cell tumors are uncommon soft tissue neoplasm of nerve sheath origin, which are predominately benign. Granular cells can be found at any site in the body including the tongue, skin, subcutaneous tissue, breast, gastrointestinal, and urogenital systems. However, granular cell tumors have only been rarely described in the chest wall. Here we report a case of a granular cell tumor that occurred in the chest wall of a 59-year-old woman, along with a review of the literature.
颗粒细胞瘤是一种罕见的起源于神经鞘的软组织肿瘤,大多为良性。颗粒细胞可见于身体的任何部位,包括舌、皮肤、皮下组织、乳腺、胃肠道及泌尿生殖系统。然而,颗粒细胞瘤发生于胸壁的情况鲜有报道。在此,我们报告一例发生于一名59岁女性胸壁的颗粒细胞瘤病例,并对相关文献进行综述。
