Granular Cell Tumour (GCT), also known as Abrikossoff's tumour is a rare neural tumour, mostly benign and solitary but rare malignant and multifocal occurrence are also reported. Location of tumour varies widely within body with tongue, skin and subcutaneous tissue being the most common sites. We report a case of malignant GCT in a 17-year-old male presented with a paravertebral swelling. Radiological and histopathological findings along with immunohistochemistry were of malignant GCT. We emphasize this case for its uncommon age and site of presentation in addition to invasive nature.
颗粒细胞瘤(GCT),也称为阿布里科索夫瘤,是一种罕见的神经肿瘤,大多为良性且为单发,但也有罕见的恶性及多灶性病例报道。肿瘤在体内的位置差异很大,最常见的部位是舌、皮肤和皮下组织。我们报告一例17岁男性的恶性颗粒细胞瘤,表现为椎旁肿胀。放射学、组织病理学检查结果及免疫组化均符合恶性颗粒细胞瘤。我们强调该病例,因其发病年龄和部位罕见,且具有侵袭性。
